Thursday’s Rainbow 6 Carryover Jackpot Grows to $1.970 Million

HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – Luis Saez rode five winners on Wednesday’s card at Gulfstream Park, closing the gap on leading jockey Irad Ortiz, who holds a 123-115 lead during the Championship Meet that concludes March 31.

“I just try to concentrate on my races and try to win,” said Saez, the defending two-time Championship Meet titlist, “and whatever happens, happens.”

The 26-year-old Saez, who has ridden more than 2100 winners, took both ends of the early double aboard Breaking Bread ($6.20) in Race 1 and Noncents ($29) in Race 2 before scoring three straight wins aboard Florida Cotton ($3.20) in Race 6, Sonoma Storm ($4.80) in Race 7, and Elias My Love ($8.80) in Race 8.

“I thought I could have a good day. I just tried to do my best and the horses ran pretty good for me today. I’m so glad, so proud,” Saez said.

Saez rode seven winners twice during the 2017-2018 Championship Meet at Gulfstream and owns a share of the Gulfstream record for most wins in a day with Jerry Bailey (1996) and Tyler Gaffalione (2017).

Who wants to be a multi-millionaire?

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot is expected to soar well over $2 million Thursday at Gulfstream Park.
The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for 24th consecutive racing day Wednesday, producing a life-changing carryover jackpot of $1,970,071.42 for Thursday’s program.

First-race post time for Thursday’s card is set for 1:15 p.m.

A total of $292,006 was bet into the popular multi-race wager, which began with a pool of $1,900,013 carried over from Sunday’s card. Multiple tickets with all six winners Wednesday were each worth $667.42.

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.

Since the 2018-19 Championship Meet kicked off Dec.1, the Rainbow 6 has been hit seven times, most recently for a $227,505.88 payout Feb. 15.
