Mandatory Rainbow 6 Jackpot Payout Pegasus Day

Pool Expected to Reach $4 Million Unless Solved Early
Jackpot Pool Estimated to Reach $425,000 for Thursday

HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool is estimated to reach $4 million if the popular multi-race wager is not hit before a scheduled mandatory payout on Saturday’s blockbuster Pegasus World Cup Day program.

Last solved for a life-changing $416,348.44 payout Jan. 8, the Rainbow 6 jackpot pool is estimated at $425,000 when the Championship Meet resumes Thursday. Post time for the first of 10 races is 12:20 p.m.

In the Rainbow 6, 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.

When there is a mandatory payout, the entire pool is disbursed to the bettor or bettors with the most winners in the six-race sequence.

Since the 2025-2026 Championship Meet opened Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 27, the Rainbow 6 has been solved three times including previous mandatory payouts of $13,268.58 Nov. 29 and $2,390.64 Dec. 21.

The Pegasus World Cup Day program features 10 stakes, seven graded, worth $5.675 million in purses. Post time for the first of 13 races is 11 a.m.

Anchoring the card in Race 13 is the 10th running of the $3 million Pegasus World Cup (G1) led by Disco Time, the 8-5 program favorite that drew Post 1 in the 1 1/8-mile race for 4-year-olds and up, and defending champion White Abarrio, the 4-1 second choice.

Race 12 is the eighth running of the $1 million Pegasus World Cup Turf (G1), where three-time Grade 1 winner Program Trading drew Post 2 and is the 5-2 morning line favorite for trainer Chad Brown, who won the race with Bricks and Mortar in 2019 and Spirit of St Louis last year.

The fifth running of the $500,000 TAA Pegasus World Cup Filly & Mare Turf (G2) in Race 10 is a wide-open affair where the Brown-trained Grade 3 winner Whiskey Decision, unraced since mid-September, is the narrow 9-2 program choice. Millionaire Caitlinhergrtness, who won Canada’s 2024 King’s Plate against males, seeks a third graded-stakes victory.

Jockey Flavien Prat is named to ride the favorite in all three Pegasus World Cup races – Disco Time, Program Trading and Whiskey Decision.

Who’s Hot: Jockey Edwin Gonzalez and trainer Murat Sancal teamed up for back-to-back winners Sunday, Calathea ($12.40) in Race 6 and Gunesh ($18.60) in Race 7 … Jockey David Egan bookended Sunday’s card with wins on Ring Rights ($23.60) in Race 1 and Spicy Princess ($23) in Race 10.
