Saturday’s Rainbow 6 Jackpot Pool Estimated at $100,000

Not Surprising, Martha Washington Co-Headline Sequence
Silks, Ten Palms Open Doors at 10 a.m. Saturday

HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – Saturday’s 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool is expected to grow to an estimated $100,000 Saturday at Gulfstream Park, where the popular multi-race wager went unsolved Friday for the third racing day following last Saturday’s jackpot hit for $143,445.12.

The Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 6-11, co-headlined by the $75,000 Not Surprising in Race 7 and the $75,000 Martha Washington in Race 9.

Patrick Biancone-trained Classic of Course is the 2-1 morning-line favorite in a field of nine 3-year-olds in the Not Surprising, to be contested at 1 1/16 miles on turf. The son of Awesome of Course won the Cutler Bay over the Gulfstream turf before finishing off the board in the American Turf (G1) at Churchill Downs last time out.

Steve Dwoskin-trained Starship Impulsive enters the Martha Washington, a 1 1/16-mile turf stakes for 3-year-old fillies, off an impressive victory in the Honey Ryder at Gulfstream May 3.

In the Rainbow 6, the carryover 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 usually goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.

Silks and Ten Palms at Gulfstream Park will open at 10 a.m. Saturday to accommodate patrons interested in watching and wagering on the Belmont Stakes (G1) Day program at Saratoga that gets underway at 10:45 a.m.
