Sunday’s Rainbow 6, with an estimated pool of $700,000, features a pair of maiden special weight events for 3-year-old fillies at 7½ furlongs on the turf.
Race 5, which begins the Rainbow 6 sequence, has a tepid 7-2 favorite in Marian Cross. The daughter of Australia’s Zoustar, sire of Group I winner Lezoo, is trained by Graham Motion and was fifth, beaten less than two lengths in her debut Jan. 26. D J Stable LLC’s Hedge My Bet, a daughter of Bernardini, makes her debut for Mark Casse while James Toner saddles Joseph Allen’s homebred This Country.
Ten more 3-year-old fillies go to post in Race 7 with another 7-2 favorite in Cate’s Charm, fifth in her debut Jan. 26 after an awkward start for Casse. Tramontane, fourth in her debut Dec. 8 for trainer Christophe Clement. Reddam Racing LLC’s Lovin the Pavels makes his debut for trainer George Weaver.
The sequence concludes with Race 10, a $16,000 maiden claimer at 1 1/16 mile on the Tapeta.
The Rainbow 6 jackpot is 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.
