$453 Ticket is All is Takes

HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – Gulfstream Park’s 20-cent Rainbow 6 was taken down Friday afternoon by one bettor for $734,403.74.

The winning ticket – 3,5-6/1,9-10/1-2,4,7/6-8/2,5,8/2,4-5,7-10 – was played in Las Vegas for $453.60.

The Rainbow 6 had gone unsolved for 19 consecutive racing days following the June 30 mandatory payout of a pool in excess of $4 million that yielded a $196,953.84 payoff for each ticket with all six winners.

The winning combination was 5-1-7-7-8-9. Blue Whale, winner of the fourth leg of the Rainbow 6, returned $68.60.

Gulfstream’s Saturday program, featuring the first leg of the FTBOA Florida Sire Stakes, has a first race post of 12:15 p.m.
