Rainbow 6 Jackpot Grows to $21,890 for Saturday Program

10-Race Card Includes $6,187 Late Pick 5 Carryover
Multiple Stakes Winner Crabcakes Favored in Race 8 Feature

LAUREL, MD – The 20-cent Rainbow 6 went unsolved Friday at Laurel Park, growing the carryover jackpot to $21,890.95 for Saturday’s 10-race card.

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

Echo of Victory was the lone horse eligible to take down the Rainbow 6 jackpot heading into Friday’s 10th-race finale, won by Wildcattin ($12.60). Tickets with five of six winners each returned $533.72.

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.

Saturday’s Rainbow 6 covers Races 5-10 and is kicked off by a $42,000 entry-level allowance for fillies and mares 3 and up going 1 1/16 miles over the All Along turf course. Godolphin homebred Carnival Colors, most recently second by a head in the Mazarine (G3) over Woodbine’s synthetic surface last October, is the 5-2 program favorite.

Also in Saturday’s sequence is a $47,000 third-level optional claiming allowance for fillies and mares 3 and up sprinting 5 ½ furlongs on the main track which drew a field of nine led by Morgans Ford Farm’s 5-year-old multiple stakes winner Crabcakes, favored at 5-2 on the morning line.

There will also be a carryover of $6,187.47 in the 50-cent Late Pick 5 (Races 6-10). Tickets with four of five winners Friday were worth $137.45.

Notes: Jockey Jorge Ruiz and trainer Donald Barr teamed up for a pair of winners Friday, Pictura ($5.80) in Race 4 and Fed Up Fired Up ($12.20) in Race 8.
