Mandatory 20-Cent Rainbow 6 Payout Set for Sunday<br>
Catalytic to Make 1stt Start Since Derby in Friday’s Carry Back<br> Turf Racing Scheduled to Resume Friday July 5

HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – One day before a scheduled mandatory payout, the 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool is expected to grow to an estimated $100,000 Saturday at Gulfstream Park.

The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the third straight racing day following last Saturday’s mandatory payout.

Saturday’s Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 6-11, headlined by the $100,000 Musical Romance in Race 10. Saffie Joseph Jr.-trained Bluefield, graded stakes-placed during the Championship Meet, is the 124-pound highweight in the 6 ½-furlong stakes for fillies and mares.

The Rainbow 6 jackpot pool is usually 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. On mandatory-payout days, the entire Rainbow 6 jackpot pool is paid out to the bettor or bettors with the most winners in the wager’s six-race sequence.

A mandatory payout of the Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be held Sunday, the last day of the fiscal year.
