HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – Eleven of the first 12 races on Gulfstream Park’s special Presidents Day card Monday will be starter-allowance contests with purses of $50,000 and $60,000.

First race post is noon.

Five of the 11 starter-allowances will be run on the turf including the seventh race, the $60,000 Mrs. Presidents, which drew a dozen 3-year-old fillies. The final race on the afternoon is a maiden special weight event for 3-year-old state breds going a mile on the turf.

There will be no live racing Tuesday but racing returns to Gulfstream Wednesday with an 11-race program. First race post is 12:35 p.m.

Monday’s Rainbow 6 Carryover

The Rainbow 6 carryover going into Monday’s program will be $73,893.76.

Multiple tickets with six winners Sunday returned $1,385.80. There was $159,734 wagered into the pool.
The sequence will begin with Monday’s seventh race.

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.

Jaramillo Rides Four Winners
