Friday’s Rainbow 6 Offers $422,936 Jackpot Carryover

G2 Holy Bull Anchors Guaranteed Multi-Race Pools Saturday

HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – The 20-cent Rainbow 6 went unsolved for the 12th consecutive racing program Thursday, producing a jackpot carryover of $422,936.38 for Friday’s 11-race program.

Multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $882.90.

The Rainbow 6 carryover jackpot is paid out only 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. However, on days when a mandatory payout is scheduled, the entire pool is shared by those holding tickets with the most winners.

G2 Holy Bull Anchors Guaranteed Multi-Race Pools Saturday

The 28th running of the $350,000 Lambholm South Holy Bull (G2) will anchor guaranteed pools in the 20-cent Rainbow 6, 50-cent Late Pick 4 and 50-cent Late Pick 5 wagers Saturday.

The Rainbow 6, which will span Races 7-12, will be guaranteed at $750,000 if not solved before Saturday. The jackpot was last taken down Jan. 16 for $72,179.58 and has already produced three triple-digit payoffs at the Championship Meet, including a $505,610.72 return Dec. 30.

The Late Pick 4 (Races 9-12) will be guaranteed at $500,000 while the Late Pick 5 (Races 8-12) will have a $250,000 guarantee. Also included in the multi-race sequences is the $100,000 Sweetest Chant (G3) for 3-year-old fillies at a mile on grass in Race 11.

A total of five stakes, four graded, worth $950,000 in purses help comprise Saturday’s program, including the $100,000 Kitten’s Joy, $200,000 Swale (G2) and $200,000 Forward Gal (G2), contested as Races 4-6.

Who’s Hot: Paco Lopez rode two winners on Thursday’s card, scoring aboard Fifty Eight O G ($5.60) in the fifth race and High Security ($26.60) in the 10th. Emisael Jaramillo also doubled with bookend victories aboard A Square to Spare ($9.40) in the first and I Will Be Free ($7.60) in the 11th.
