Thursday’s Rainbow 6 Jackpot Pool Guaranteed at $1.3 Million
Mandatory Rainbow 6 Payout Set for Saturday’s Program
Structor Returns from Long Layoff in Saturday Allowance
HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $1.3 million Thursday at Gulfstream Park.
The Rainbow 6 went unsolved for the 11th straight racing day Wednesday, when multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $21,145.52.
A mandatory payout of the Rainbow 6 jackpot pool is scheduled for Saturday’s 12-race program that will also feature the $100,000 Gulfstream Park Sprint (G3) and the $100,000 Gulfstream Park Turf Sprint (G3).
The jackpot pool is usually 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. However, on mandatory payout days the whole pool is paid out to the bettor or bettors holding tickets with the most winners in the six-race sequence.
Structor Returns from Long Layoff in Saturday Allowance
Undefeated Structor, idle since winning the 2019 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (G1), is entered in an optional claiming allowance on Saturday’s program at Gulfstream Park.
Don Rachel and Jeff Drown’s 4-year-old son of Palace Malice, who was injured while training last June, is undefeated in three starts, including the Pilgrim (G3) at Belmont prior to his Breeders’ Cup score.
Jose Ortiz is scheduled to ride the Chad Brown trainee in the mile turf race carded as Race 10.
WHO’S HOT: Leading rider Irad Ortiz Jr. doubled aboard Eagerly ($4.40) in Race 6 and Little Bit Good ($13.80) in Race 10. Miguel Vasquez scored back-to-back aboard Choose Joy ($9.60) in Race 8 and Soldollie ($13) in Race 9.
