Sunday’s Rainbow 6 Jackpot Pool Estimated at $100,000

HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – Unsolved for the second straight racing day following a $14,191.52 mandatory payout July 13, the 20-cent Rainbow 6 will have its jackpot pool estimated at $100,000 for Sunday’s 10-race program at Gulfstream Park.

First race post time is 12:50 p.m.

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.

Sunday’s Rainbow 6 sequence kicks off in Race 5 with a claiming event for 3-year-olds and up sprinting 5 ½ furlongs on the all-weather Tapeta course. Trainer Jose D’Angelo entered the pair of Gallant Knight and Sneak Preview, both maiden winners over elders during the Royal Palm Meet in their only try on synthetic.

Race 7 is a six-furlong optional claiming allowance for Florida-breds 3 and older on the main track where Raging Fury is the 8-5 program favorite in his first race since finishing second in a similar spot Feb. 8 at Gulfstream. Avant Glory goes for his eighth career win and second straight since being claimed by trainer Kent Sweezey in mid-May.

The Race 9 feature is an optional claiming allowance for 3-year-olds and up sprinting 6 ½ furlongs on the main track. Swirvin, winner of the 2023 Jersey Shore at Monmouth Park, makes his return after finishing fifth in the Feb. 22 Gulfstream Park Sprint. Latch the Hatch chases a third consecutive win for trainer Joe Orseno, having beaten older Florida-breds two back and romping by 4 ¼ lengths against open company going 5 ½ furlongs June 19. Arindel homebred Turbo looks to snap a seven-race losing streak dating back to his victory in the 2022 Juvenile Sprint at Gulfstream.

Leading off the Sunday program is a maiden special weight for Florida-bred 2-year-olds that drew a field of seven led by another Arindel homebred, Bowie, who sheds blinkers in his fourth start and first for trainer Carlos David. Trainer Patrick Biancone unveils Diciassette, a $100,000 son of champion Mitole, off a steady string of works at Palm Meadows, Gulfstream’s satellite training facility in Palm Beach County.

Notes: Jockey Leonel Reyes registered a Saturday hat trick aboard Prism Pool Pat ($3.20) in Race 1, Cross Haste ($7.80) in Race 3 and Stroke of Midnight ($10.80) in Race 10 … Royal Palm Meet leading trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. won twice with Tessellate ($3.80) in Race 6 and Latte Lizzie ($5.60) in Race 8 … Jockey Edwin Gonzalez, sitting at 1,999 wins, is named in six of 10 races Sunday.
