Mandatory Rainbow 6 Yields Multiple $206 Payouts

Jockey Leonel Reyes Registers Three-Win Day Sunday
Friday Kicks Off Closing Weekend of Royal Palm Meet

HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool yielded multiple payoffs of $206.30 Sunday at Gulfstream Park.

There were 4,392 winning tickets.

The popular multi-race wager had gone unsolved for eight consecutive racing days since multiple mandatory payouts of $2,314.46 Aug. 3. A total of $1,005,092 was put into the Rainbow 6 Sunday on top of a $102,382.77 carryover from Saturday’s program.

A Great Date ($6.40) captured the Race 10 finale to complete the winning 4-6-1-2-7-8 combination. Other winners in the sequence were Maruvy ($8.20) in Race 5, St. Olaf Rose ($4.40) in Race 6, Motown Mika ($6) in Race 7, Light Fury ($3.20) in Race 8 and Shaq Diesel ($5.80) in Race 9, the $75,000 Benny the Bull Handicap.

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. However, on mandatory payout days the entire jackpot pool is paid out to the bettor or bettors with the most winners in the wager’s six-race sequence.

The Rainbow 6 begins anew Friday to kick off closing weekend of the Royal Palm Meet, which began April 5. The sequence opens with the day’s feature in Race 5, a maiden special weight for 2-year-old fillies scheduled for five furlongs on the grass which drew a field of nine with seven first-time starters as well as Catalonia and Timeforpeace, who each finished off the board in debut on the main track.
