HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool Sunday yielded multiple $31,481.78 payoffs at Gulfstream Park.

The Rainbow 6, which was solved a week earlier for a $185, 237.30 jackpot payoff, offered bettors a carryover of $54,774 going into Sunday, when $904,774 was bet into the popular multi-race wager, which spanned Races 4-9.

The winning combination was: 9-1-9-1-2-11.

The Rainbow 6 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 usually goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool. On Mandatory days, the entire jackpot pool will be disbursed to the bettor or bettors with tickets including the most winners.

The Rainbow 6 starts anew Thursday, when the sequence will span Races 4-9, featuring a well-stocked 5 ½-furlong maiden special weight event for 3-year-old fillies on Tapeta. Joe Orseno-trained Love Actually returns from turf to the all-weather surface, over which the daughter of Caravaggio has finished second twice in as many starts. Orseno will also be represented in the nine-filly field by Lido Beach, a daughter of Curlin’s Honor who finished third her recent debut. Eddie Plesa Jr.-trained Valiant Hope, who finished 1 ½ lengths ahead of Lido Beach while finishing second in her second start, appears to be another win candidate. Saffie Joseph Jr.-trained Violence and Peace, a daughter of Violence, is slated to debut from the rail post.

Tiffany Gold Upsets Mrs. Gambolini in Lady’s Island Handicap

Lean Entertainment LLC’s Tiffany Gold withstood a stretch-long challenge by odds-on favorite Mrs. Gambolini to capture Sunday’s $70,000 Lady’s Island, a five-furlong overnight handicap for filles and mares on turf, at Gulfstream Park.

The Victor Barboza Jr.-trained 4-year-old daughter of Speightster ($13.40) set the pace over a firm turf course to prevail by a head over Saffie Joseph Jr.-trained Mrs. Gambolini, the 3-5 favorite and 125-pound highweight who conceded three pounds to the winner while seeking her fourth win in five career starts.

Tiffany Gold, who had finished fourth behind Mrs. Gambolini in the Golden Beach Handicap April 27, ran five furlongs in 54.72 seconds under Emisael Jaramillo to record her fourth win in 11 starts. Mrs. Gambolini, who was ridden for the first time by Rocco Bowen, finished 1 ¼ lengths ahead of Barboza-trained Great Venezuela, the 9-5 second betting choice ridden by Leonel Reyes.

In Memory of Christophe Clement

The Florida racing community mourns the passing of trainer Christophe Clement after battling Metastic uveal Melanoma. Clement was 59.

A native of France, Clement won his first race in the U.S. in 1991 at Belmont Park and won his first graded stakes race at Gulfstream in 1992. Gentlemanly and astute, Clement saddled 2,576 winners and won the 2014 Belmont Stakes (G1) with Tonalist, the 2021 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) with Pizza Bianca, and trained two-time grass champion Gio Ponti.

Clement had great success in South Florida during the winter months at Gulfstream, Calder and Hialeah, especially with turf runners. Clement won Gulfstream’s Orchid Handicap (G3) six of 11 years between 1994-2004, including four consecutive years, and again in 2023. He won the Gulfstream Park Turf (G1), now the Pegasus World Cup Turf (G1), three times, and won Gulfstream’s 2022, 2024 and 2025 Pan American (G3). He also saddled stakes winners at Calder in the W.L. McKnight (G3) and at Hialeah in Bougainvillea.
