HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – Gulfstream Park resumes racing Wednesday, May 17 with a 20-cent Rainbow 6 carryover that continues to grow and grow and grow and….

Wednesday’s carryover will be $218,820.71.

First race post for Wednesday’s nine-race card is 1:15 p.m. The Rainbow 6 sequence begins with the fourth race, a $20,000 claimer for 3-year-olds and up at 7 1/2 furlongs on the turf. There will be four turf races in Wednesday’s sequence.

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 sold, 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.

Todd Pletcher leads all trainers with 13 wins through Sunday’s program. Victor Barboza Jr. and Ralph Ziadie each have 10 and Ralph Nicks nine. Tyler Gaffalione leads all jockeys with 46 wins, eight ahead of Edgard Zayas and 18 ahead of Emisael Jaramillo. Frank Carl Calabrese leads all owners with nine victories.
