The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $100,000 for Saturday’s program at Gulfstream Park West.
The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the third racing day since one lucky ticketholder hit for a $249,204 jackpot Sunday.
The carryover 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.
Saturday’s Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 5-10, kicked off by a full field of $12,500 claimers in Race 5, slated to be run at five furlongs on turf.
A half-brother to Tapit, North America’s premier stallion, is scheduled to make his debut in Race 6, a 6 ½-furlong maiden special weight race for 3-year-olds and up. Kidtapit, a 4-year-old son of Super Saver, is the last registered foal of Tap Your Heels, a daughter of Unbridled. Kidtapit is owned and trained by Steven Dwoskin, who is also scheduled to saddle Follow Q T R, a 3-year-old first-time starter by Honor Code. Moonlander, a debuting son of Malibu Moon trained by Todd Pletcher; is also prominent in the eight-horse field.
Jorge Delgado-trained Just Kidding, who finished third in the $150,000 FSS Wildcat Heir last time out, drops back to optional claiming allowance company in Race 7. A pair of recent claims from the Michael Maker barn are among 13 fillies and mares entered in Race 8, scheduled to be contested at 7 ½ furlongs on turf. Act Like Artie, who beat $25,000 claiming maidens last time out, debuts for trainer Darien Rodriguez, while All About Kathern, a daughter of Bodemeister who was claimed for $12,500, is set to make her first start for owner/trainer Mary Eppler. Amador Sanchez-trained La Rusia is the 7-2 morning-line favorite after finishing second to non-winners-of-two $25,000 claimers last time out.
The Rainbow 6 sequence will be closed out by a six-furlong optional claiming allowance for 2-year-old fillies in Race 9 and a six-furlong sprint for a full field of $6,500 claimers. Maker-trained Artie’s Rose, who graduated in her second career start and first dirt race at Gulfstream Park West Oct. 10, is the 5-2 morning-line favorite in Race 9, which attracted three other last-out maiden winners. Colossal Storm, who broke his maiden by 15 ½ lengths at Louisiana Downs for trainer Steve Asmussen, will make his first start for owner/trainer Peter Walder in Race 10.
