HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – The 20-cent Rainbow 6 went unsolved for the 18th racing day in a row Sunday at Gulfstream Park, producing a carryover jackpot of $874,461.50 for Thursday’s program.

Tickets with all six winners were each worth $14,865.90 Sunday.

The Rainbow 6 jackpot 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.

There will also be a Super Hi-5 Carryover of $10,921.94 heading into Thursday’s card.

Multiple-Stakes Winner Chance It Works for Mucho Macho Man

Shooting Star Thoroughbreds LLC’s Chance It tuned up for a scheduled start in the $100,000 Mucho Macho Man Jan. 4 with a sizzling five-furlong workout Sunday morning at Gulfstream Park.

The juvenile son of Currency Swap breezed five-furlongs in 58.73 seconds, the fastest of 48 recorded at the distance, while preparing to make his 3-year-old debut in the mile stakes that will kick off Gulfstream’s stakes program for 3-year-olds.

“He worked really good. It was a strong work for the Mucho Macho Man, trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. said. “I’m very happy with where we are right now.”

Chance It has been idle since capturing the $400,000 In Reality, the 2019 Florida Sire Stakes series final Sept. 28, scoring by more than seven lengths in his first attempt around two turns.

The Joseph-trained Math Wizard and Tonalist’s Shape both worked three-furlongs Sunday. Math Wizard, a possible for the Jan. 25 Pegasus World Cup Invitational (G1) at Gulfstream, breezed for the first time since finishing fifth in the Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) at Santa Anita Nov. 2. The Pennsylvania Derby (G1) winner breezed three furlongs in 36.21 seconds. Undefeated Tonalist’s Shape, who captured the Hut Hut Stakes last time out, was timed in 35.47 seconds.

Sunday afternoon, Joseph visited the winner’s circle following Merseyside’s front-running score in Race 1, a five-furlong maiden race for 2-year-old fillies that was originally scheduled to be run on turf.

“We always wanted to try her on dirt, but today I was pushing not to run her on dirt. The owner said let’s give it a try,” Joseph said.

The 2-year-old daughter of McLean’s Music ($16.20), who finished third and fourth on turf in her first two starts, shook off a challenge by favored Feeling Funny, a daughter of American Pharoah, and drew off to win by five lengths under Emisael Jaramillo.

Who’s Hot: Luis Saez rode four winners on Sunday’s card, including three straight aboard Fearless ($2.60) in Race 2, Take Charge Tina ($3.80) in Race 3 and Squeezadios ($10.80) in Race 3. He completed the four-win day aboard Mean Mary ($6.40) in Race 9.

Rainbow 6 Carryover Jackpot: $874,461.50.
