Rainbow 6 Jackpot Carryover Reaches $32,361 for Sunday

Nine-Race Program Begins at 1:10 P.M. with Super Hi-5 Carryover

LAUREL, MD – The 20-cent Rainbow 6 went unsolved Saturday at Laurel Park, pushing the jackpot carryover to $32,361.75 for Sunday’s nine-race program.

First race post time is 1:10 p.m.

A total of $12,770 was bet into the popular multi-race wager Saturday, which began with a carryover of $28,275.35 from Friday’s program. Multiple tickets with all six winners each returned $2,043.18.

Faze the Nation, one of two horses live to take down the jackpot heading into Saturday’s ninth-race finale, finished third behind Lonely Drifter ($24.40), who completed the winning 1-4-6-4-7-5 combination.

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, 60 percent of that day’s pool goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 40 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.

Its current jackpot is the largest in Laurel’s Rainbow 6 since a $21,746 carryover following the Dec. 21, 2018 program. It was solved the following day for a payout of $31,286.30.

The Rainbow 6 spans Races 4-9 Sunday. Race 7 is a $42,000 allowance for 4-year-olds and up going about 1 1/16 miles which drew a field of nine including multiple stakes-placed Threes Over Deuces, while meet-leading trainer Claudio Gonzalez entered Tap the Mark and Stormin Hongkong in Race 8 a one-mile, $42,000 optional claiming allowance for 3-year-olds.

There will also be a $1 Super Hi-5 carryover of $1,004.71 in Sunday’s opener, a $40,000 maiden special weight for 3-year-old fillies going six furlongs.

Notes: Seven-pound apprentice Julio Correa rode two winners for the second consecutive day Saturday, scoring aboard Hot Mic ($6) in Race 3 and Throw the Fade ($6.80) in Race 8. Kevin Gomez also won twice, with I’mthetapitnow ($39.40) in Race 1 and Turing Machine ($24.20) in Race 7.
