HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – The 20-cent Rainbow 6 gross jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $400,000 on Saturday’s program at Gulfstream Park.

The daughter of Cross Traffic is scheduled to make her debut on the all-weather surface. Carlos David-trained Jellybean enters the Our Dear Peggy off a third-place finish on Tapeta in the Sharp Susan, won by Showgirl Lynne B, who went on the capture a $250,000 allowance at Kentucky Downs on turf.
Jellybean’s full brother Octane, who captured the $200,000 Affirmed and $400,000 In Reality in the 2021 FTBOA Florida Sire Stakes series, will seek to return to winning form in Race 10, a six-furlong optional claiming allowance.
The Rainbow 6 jackpot is 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.
