Gulfstream Park will offer a mandatory payout of its 20-cent Rainbow 6 on Sunday, July 21.

The estimated carryover of the Rainbow 6 will be $150,000 when racing resumes on Friday with a nine-race program, starting at 12:55 p.m.

If the Rainbow 6 is not hit on Friday or Saturday with one winning ticket, the estimated jackpot is expected to be around $2 million on Sunday.

Sunday’s Rainbow 6 includes a maiden special weight event for 2-year-olds on the main track at five furlongs, two five-furlong races on Tapeta for claimers, and two turf races. One of the turf races, a maiden claiming event for fillies and mares at a mile, concludes the Rainbow 6 with a field of 12.

Friday’s Rainbow 6 starts with Race 4, a maiden claiming event on the main track at a mile for 3-year-olds and up. The sequence includes two turf races, a maiden special weight event at five furlongs for 3-year-olds and up, and a $75,000 allowance optional claimer at 1 1/16 miles for 3-year-olds.

On mandatory-payout days, the entire Rainbow 6 jackpot pool is paid out to the bettor or bettors with the most winners in the six-race sequence. The carryover jackpot is usually paid out only when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days without a unique ticket, 70 percent of that day’s pool goes to bettors with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.
