HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – The 20-cent Rainbow 6 was solved by one lucky bettor for a $90,495.60 jackpot payoff Saturday at Gulfstream Park.

Geaux Amy ($6.20), one of four horses live to take down the jackpot entering the Race 10 finale, rallied up the rail to edge 14-1 longshot Junegenai and compete the winning 8-2-7-9-5-2 combination.

Other winners in the sequence were Lady of City ($78.80) in Race 5; Lindsay Smiles ($14) in Race 6; Stick Talk ($4.60) in Race 7, the $75,000 Palm Bay overnight handicap; Neat ($7.40) in Race 8, the $65,000 Miami Mile overnight handicap; and Degree of Risk ($8.40) 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.

On mandatory payout days, the entire pool is disbursed to the bettor or bettors holding tickets with the most winners in the six-race sequence.

There will be a Players Pick 8 carryover Sunday of $8,945.47.

The Rainbow 6 begins anew Sunday, spanning Races 4-9, starting with a claiming event for 3-year-olds and up sprinting 5 ½ furlongs on the main track. The 4-year-old Adios Mate seeks his first win this year and third overall after finishing second four times in six prior starts.
