Live racing returns to Laurel Park with a 10-race program Friday, June 28 featuring a carryover jackpot of $19,400.22 in the 20-cent Rainbow 6.
First race post time is 1:10 p.m.
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, 60 percent of that day’s pool goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 40 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.
Friday’s Rainbow 6 spans Races 5-10. The sequence features four races over Laurel’s world-class turf course which attracted a total of 44 horses, an average of 11 starters per race, including a 5 ½-furlong sprint for 2-year-old maidens in Race 6. Race 9 is a $45,000 second-level optional claiming allowance for fillies and mares 3 and up going one mile on the main track.
Race 8, a $23,000 claiming event at a mile on grass, and Race 10, a 5 ½-furlong turf sprint for maiden fillies 3 and older, are Leg A and C, respectively, of the $100,000 guaranteed Stronach 5 national wager that also features three races from Gulfstream Park.
Racing moves to a Thursday through Sunday schedule starting Thursday, July 4 for the remainder of Laurel’s 43-day summer meet.
