With Saturday’s mandatory-payout looming, the 20-cent Rainbow 6 went unsolved for the 27th consecutive racing day Thursday at Gulfstream Park, leaving a carryover jackpot of $848,456.20 for Friday’s twilight card.
First-race post time for Friday’s nine-race program is set for 2:15 p.m.
Multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $2,176.20 Thursday. There will also be a Super Hi 5 carryover Friday of $4,491.85.
The carryover jackpot 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 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 carryover jackpot is completely disbursed and shared by all bettors holding tickets with the most winners.
Should the Rainbow go unsolved on Friday, the carryover jackpot could approach $1 million for Saturday’s Summit of Speed program that will be co-headlined by the $250,000 Princess Rooney (G2), a Breeders’ Cup ‘Win and You’re In’ race, and the $250,000 Smile Sprint (G3).
Los Al Carryovers for Day Two of New Meet
There will be a Pick 6 carryover of $10,268 when racing resumes Friday, the second day of the Summer Thoroughbred Festival at Los Alamitos in Cypress, Calif.
The primary catalysts for the carryover were Swallows Inn Gal, who won the fifth race at 18-1 under apprentice jockey Kellie McDaid, and Cee Sam’s Girl, who rallied from far off the pace to win the eighth at $28 under jockey Kyle Frey.
There is also a Super High 5 carryover of $3,204. The $1 minimum wager, which requires a player to correctly identify the first five finishers, is offered daily in the final race.
Post time Friday is 1 p.m. The Pick Six will begin in the third race, which has a scheduled post time of 1:58 p.m.
