Sunday’s Rainbow 6 Guaranteed Pool $900,000

HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – The 20-cent Rainbow 6 will have a guaranteed pool of $900,000 when racing resumes Sunday with a 12-race program.

In the ninth race, an optional claiming event at six furlongs, Cory Gal will seek her fourth consecutive victory. State-bred fillies go to post in the 10th race.
