HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – Saturday’s 20-cent Rainbow 6 carryover jackpot rose to $795,014.63 when the popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the 30th consecutive racing card at Gulfstream Park Friday.

Multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $243 Friday.

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.

Saturday’s Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 7-12.

First-race post time is set for 12:55 p.m.

Mandatory Rainbow 6 Payout Scheduled for June 17

A mandatory payout of the Rainbow 6 carryover pool at Gulfstream Park is scheduled for Saturday, June 17.

On mandatory payout days, a single unique ticket with all six winners is not required to take down or share in the carryover jackpot. The entire Rainbow 6 pool is paid out to the holders of tickets with the most winners.

Mandatory payouts are also scheduled for the Late Pick 5 and Super Hi-5 on June 17.

Silks Open at 10 a.m. Saturday for Belmont Simulcast

Crocodile Charlie Rallies for Ocala Flame Handicap Win

Crocodile Charlie ($20.80) unleashed an outside stretch rally to register a length decision over heavily favored Benefactor in Friday’s $50,000 Ocala Flame Handicap.

Trained by Rohan Crichton, Crocodile Charlie stalked the pace set by Coronado Again and pressed by Benefactor before kicking in through the stretch under Edgard Zayas to prevail in the hotly contested 6 ½-furlong overnight handicap for 3-year-olds.

The son of Adios Charlie ran the distance in 1:17.03 over a racing surface labeled ‘good.’ Benefactor held second under Tyler Gaffalione, a neck in front of 2-1 second choice Quinientos, who was another neck ahead of Chatiment.
