Mandatory Rainbow 6 Yields Multiple $1,872 Payouts

Sunshine Meet Resumes Friday with 10-Race Program

HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 yielded multiple payoffs of $1,872.46 Sunday at Gulfstream Park.

After going unsolved for six racing days following the last mandatory return Sept. 14, the popular multi-race wager was hit twice in three days last weekend for jackpot payouts of $143,083.80 Oct. 3 and $50,554.95 Oct. 5.

A total of $483,733 was put into the Rainbow 6 Sunday on top of a $13,880.95 carryover from Saturday’s 11-race program.

Tinta Roja ($5.80), favored at 9-5, captured the Race 10 finale to complete the winning 4-3-1-7-8-3 combination. Other winners in the sequence were Sunna ($16.80) in Race 5, Vino Santo ($6.60) in Race 6, Ibrahimovic ($8) in Race 7, K.C. Chief ($11.40) in Race 8 and She’s My Lady Luck ($4.80) in Race 9.

In the Rainbow 6, the jackpot pool is paid out only 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 popular wager’s six-race sequence.

The Rainbow 6 begins anew when the Sunshine Meet resumes Friday. The sequence spans Races 5-10 and includes three races on the main track and one each scheduled for the turf and all-weather Tapeta course.

Trainer Eduardo Luces Saddles First Winner Sunday

Trainer Eduardo Luces saddled his first winner with his first starter Sunday at Gulfstream Park, where the Venezuela native visited the winner’s circle with Vino Santo ($6.60) following Race 6.

Luces, who is currently training a stable of three, was not involved in racing in Venezuela before working his way up to assistant trainer under Oscar Gonzalez in South Florida.

“I’m obviously very happy and thankful to all the people who have supported me,” the 38-year-old trainer said through a translator.

Yenny Rivera’s Vino Santo led throughout the mile-and-70-yard race for $8,000 claimers on Tapeta, scoring by 1 ½ lengths under jockey Jose Morelos.

Notes: Jockey Emisael Jaramillo registered a Sunday hat trick aboard Alluring Serenity ($24.80) in Race 1, Techno Music ($4.40) in Race 4 and K.C. Chief ($4.80) in Race 8 … Trainer Kent Sweezey sent out a pair of winners, 3-year-old filly first-time starter Sunna ($16.80) in Race 5 and Ibrahimovic ($8) in Race 7.
