Gulfstream’s Memorial Day Rainbow 6 Jackpot Has $1.2-Million Guarantee


Monday’s special Memorial Day program at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., will feature a $1.2 million 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool guarantee.

The 12-race holiday program is scheduled to get under way at 12:45 p.m.

The Rainbow 6 went unsolved for the ninth consecutive racing day Sunday, when multiple ticket with all six winners were each worth $19,092.88.

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.

Monday’s Rainbow 6 sequence, including four legs in which trainers Larry Rivelli and Michael Maker may well figure prominently, will span Races 7-12.

A six-furlong $30,000 claiming dash for fillies and mares will kick off the sequence in Race 7. Stakes-winner Ms Meshak, who drops into a claiming race for the first time, heads a field of seven. Race 8, a mile $20,000 claiming race for 3-year-olds and up, drew a full field, including a couple of old warriors, My Point Exactly and Donji, who are both at the top of their games.

Rivelli-trained horses will be prominent in Races 9 and 10. Rivelli, who has a remarkable 61-percent success rate with horses coming off layoffs of 180 days or more according to Daily Racing Form stats.

In Race 9, a six-furlong claiming race for $25,000 claimers that haven’t won two races lifetime, Rivelli is slated to bring back Vincent William, who hasn’t run since in an off-the-board stakes finish Oct. 9. In Race 10, a mile turf race for $20,000 claimers that haven’t won three races lifetime, Rivelli is scheduled to bring back P H Factor, who hasn’t run since losing a photo in a $20,000 claiming race Aug. 11.

In Race 11, a mile optional claiming allowance for 3-year-old fillies, Maker-trained Exclusive Molly will seek her third-straight victory after winning her last two starts by a combined 20 ½ lengths. In Race 12, a five-furlong turf sprint for $12,500 claiming fillies and mares, Cape Trios is scheduled to make her first start for Maker while taking a significant drop in class off a 4 ½-month layoff.
