GULFSTREAM TODAY

HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – The 20-cent Rainbow 6 will have an estimated pool of $150,000 when racing resumes Thursday at Gulfstream Park.

Post time for the first of nine races is 12:50 p.m.

Thursday’s Rainbow 6 sequence spans Races 4-9. The opener is a claiming event for maidens 3 and up going 1 1/16 miles on the all-weather Tapeta course where Gary Barber homebred Irish Wish adds blinkers for the first time in his sixth start, having run second after setting the pace last out Jan. 31.

A field of 10 older fillies and mares are set to go to post in Race 5, a claiming event scheduled for one mile on the grass. Leo Toro, third or better in five of eight starts, seeks to bounce back off a dull effort Dec. 28. Crimson was beaten half-length when second at the coure and distance Dec. 27.

The feature comes in Race 8, an optional claiming allowance where older fillies and mares will go 1 1/8 miles on the Tapeta. Irish Wish’s Mark Casse-trained stablemate Aspen Dawn is the 9-5 program favorite, a $550,000 yearling that was most recently fourth in a 1 3/8-mile turf allowance Jan. 10. Three-time winner Ms. Tart races first off the claim for trainer Kevin Rice, having won over the Gulfstream course Jan. 18.

In the Rainbow 6, the jackpot pool 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.

A mandatory payout of the Rainbow 6 returned $164,292.76 to multiple winners Feb. 15.
