The 20-cent Rainbow 6 at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., was hit Wednesday for $636,311.50 on the day when post positions were drawn for Saturday’s $3-million Pegasus World Cup Invitational (G1) and $1-million Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational (G1).
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.
Thursday’s Rainbow 6 sequence, with a guaranteed pool of $100,000, will span Races 5-10, including a well-stocked maiden special weight race for older horses in Race 5. Caveat Emptor, a Joseph Allen homebred trained by Jimmy Toner, and Core Conviction, a son of American Pharoah trained by Chad Brown, are scheduled to make their respective debuts in the mile turf race. Voodoo Zip, second in his last four starts, will be saddled for the first time by Christophe Clement. While Phil Serpe-trained King Angelo will make his first Gulfstream start after finishing second on dirt his Dec. 20 debut at Aqueduct.
In Race 7, a mile optional claiming allowance on turf for 3-year-old fillies, Ron Spatz-trained I Get It will seek to return to winning form after finishing fourth in the Ginger Brew. The daughter of Get Stormy had won her three previous starts by a combined total of nearly 12 lengths.
There will be a mandatory payout of the Rainbow 6 Sunday.
WHO’S HOT: Junior Alvarado notched a three-win day Wednesday, scoring aboard Mary of Scotland ($17.60) in Race 2, Sososubtle ($38.80) in Race 4, and Celestial Cheetah ($12.20) in Race 6.
