Friday’s Rainbow 6 Jackpot Pool Estimated at $450,000

HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool has been rescheduled to Sunday, April 13 at Gulfstream Park.

Originally scheduled for last Sunday, the popular multi-race wager’s mandatory payout was postponed due to heavy rains and windy conditions that forced the cancellation of the 2024-2025 Championship Meet’s closing-day card following Race 5.

The Rainbow 6 carryover 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 usually goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool. On mandatory-payout days, the entire Rainbow 6 jackpot pool is paid out to the bettor or bettors with the most winners in the wager’s six-race sequence.

The Rainbow 6 went unsolved for the fifth consecutive racing day on Thursday’s Royal Palm Meet’s opening-day program. Friday’s Rainbow 6 jackpot pool is expected to grow to an estimated $450,000.

Friday’s Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 4-9, featuring a 5 ½-furlong optional claiming allowance for fillies and mares on Tapeta carded as Race 7, in which Eddie Plesa Jr.-trained Time Passage will make her 2025 debut. The 5-year-old daughter of Tunwoo, who will run for a $62,500 claiming tag, has won three stakes on the all-weather surface. Kevin Rice-trained Ms. Tart enters Friday’s feature with a victory while cutting back to 5 ½ furlongs last time out.
