Rainbow 6 Gross Jackpot Pool Guaranteed at $400,000
The 20-cent Rainbow 6 Gross Jackpot Pool will be guaranteed for $400,000 Sunday at Gulfstream Park, where the popular multi-race wager has gone unsolved for the five racing days following a mandatory payout on Pegasus World Cup Day.
The Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 6-11, kicked off by a full field of well-bred 3-year-old fillies in a six-furlong maiden special weight race. Trainer Chad Brown is scheduled to unveil Juddmonte’s Arrobatic, a homebred daughter of Arrogate in a field that also includes first-time starters by Tapit, Malibu Moon, Constitution, Speightstown and Gunner Run.
The Rainbow 6 jackpot is paid out when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 70 percent of that day’s pool goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.
There will also be a Super Hi-5 carryover of $11,803.15.
