HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool is estimated to reach $75,000 when the fall Sunshine Meet concludes its penultimate weekend Sunday at Gulfstream Park.

Post time for the first of 11 races is 12:20 p.m.

Sunday’s Rainbow 6 sequence spans Races 6-11, opening with a starter optional claimer for fillies and mares 3 and up sprinting 5 ½ furlongs on the all-weather Tapeta course. The field of nine is led by 4-year-old Greenfield Cougar, a five-time winner that owns four wins and two seconds in nine lifetime tries on the synthetic, and 7-year-old Heir to the Roar, who is 11-for-34 in her Tapeta career.

The feature comes in Race 7, the $75,000 Juvenile Sprint for 2-year-old going six furlongs on the main track where K. Johnston Racing, Michael and Jules Iavarone and Hopeless Stables’ Sum of Success chases a fourth consecutive win and third straight in a stakes without a loss. The Win Win Win colt drew the rail against five foes in his first start since Sept. 5 and first in open company, having scored three wins by 24 ¼ combined lengths including the six-furlong In Summation and seven-furlong Express Tour against fellow Florida-breds.

Race 8 is a maiden special weight for 2-year-olds going one mile and 70 yards on the Tapeta that drew a full field of 12 featuring Jose D’Angelo-trained Thor’s Hammer, a first-time starter by 2016 Florida Derby (G1) and Kentucky Derby (G1) winner Nyquist that fetched $1.2 million at auction in March. Sunshine Meet leader Leonel Reyes is named to ride from Post 11. Among the challengers are Saffie Joseph Jr.-trained debut runner Rock Bridge, by Life Is Good, and Exhibit, making his third start and first with blinkers for Hall of Famer Todd Pletcher.

Nine horses 3 and older are entered to line up in Race 10, an optional claiming allowance sprinting 5 ½ furlongs on the Tapeta. Argentine-bred Quereme Pass, third or better in 11 of 16 starts with four wins, seeks his first win of 2026 after finishing second three times in five starts. Knockanara returns to action for the first time since being beaten a neck while third in an open turf allowance Aug. 20 at Colonial Downs.

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.

Notes: Shadwell Stable homebred Saytara ($23.60), making her second start for Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher, steadily wore down pacesetter Lady Cross and edged clear late to win Race 7, a maiden special weight for 2-year-old fillies. The daughter of 2014 Florida Derby (G1) winner Constitution covered 6 ½ furlongs in 1:19.43 over a fast main track … Saturday’s other maiden special weight, also for juvenile fillies, saw Tracy Farmer homebred Delightful Diva ($10.80), by 2018 Triple Crown champion Justify, register a determined one-length victory in 1:42.74 for a mile and 70 yards on the all-weather Tapeta course in Race 3 … Jockey Leonel Reyes added two wins to his Sunshine Meet-leading totals with Shepping Naches ($7) in Race 5 and Jalapeno ($8) in Race 9, giving him 47 wins, 12 more than runner-up Diego Herrera … Trainer Victor Barboza Jr. doubled with Finest Gamble ($6.20) in Race 2 and Great Venezuela ($3.80) in the $60,000 Groupie Doll overnight handicap.
