Thursday’s Rainbow 6 Carryover Jackpot Swells to $449,228

HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – The 20-cent Rainbow 6 went unsolved at Gulfstream Park Sunday, producing a $449,228 carryover jackpot for Thursday’s 10-race twilight program First-race post time is 2 p.m.

Multiple tickets with all six winners Sunday were each worth $1,212.18.

The carryover jackpot is only 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.

The Rainbow 6 has gone unsolved for 12 straight racing days following the June 30 mandatory payout of a pool in excess of $4 million that yielded a $196,95384 payoff for each ticket with all six winners.
Tyler Gaffalione Rides Three Winners

Tyler Gaffalione rode three winners on Sunday’s program at Gulfstream Park. The 23-year-old rising star, who captured the Spring Meet jockey title, scored aboard Scorched Earth ($6.80) in the second race, Big Clue ($5.80) in the seventh and Bargainaire ($4.40) in the eighth.

Apprentice jockey Kevin Carmona, who notched his first career victory Saturday, came right back Sunday to win aboard Pretty Shea D. ($3.60) in Race 4.

Deland Wins First U.S. Stakes in Sunday’s Coast Is Clear

Ricardo Vallejo’s Deland, a Grade 1 winner in Puerto Rico, broke through with his first stakes victory in the U.S. Sunday in the $75,000 Coast Is Clear at Gulfstream Park.

Ridden by Emisael Jaramillo, the 6-year-old gelding ran a one-turn mile in 1:35.86 to win for the first time in his five starts since leaving Puerto Rico. The Florida-bred son of Gottcha Gold, who won 10 of 16 starts in Puerto Rico, came to the U.S. last fall to compete in the Dec. 9 Clasico del Caribe at Gulfstream Park.

“This horse came here for the Caribbean Classic but when he got to Miami he had a hoof injury and couldn’t run,” trainer Victor Barboza Jr. said.

Deland ($10.80) settled off the pace set by Conquest Big E, the 6-5 favorite who set fractions of 23 (seconds), 44.97 and 1:09.11 before relinquishing the lead to Zipping leaving the turn into the homestretch. Zipping, who had pressed the pace into the stretch, repelled a bid by multiple-stakes winner Mr. Jordan and maintained a lead into mid-stretch under Tyler Gaffalione, only to be overtaken by Deland.

Deland was transferred to Barboza’s Gulfstream Park stable before finishing a close second in a June 29 optional claiming allowance race after setting the pace.

“There was a lot of speed — 44 (seconds for the half-mile). It helped my horse,” Barboza said. “The last time, he set the pace and finished second but ran a good race. Today, he was very, very good.”

Zipping held gamely to finish second, 1 ½ lengths ahead of a late-charging Hy Riverside, who had beaten Deland last time out. Conquest Big E., who won the Gulfstream Park Mile (G2) March 31, tired badly to finish out of the money.
