Gulfstream Park: Rainbow 6 Pool Expected To Exceed $5 Million Sunday With Mandatory Payout

Gulfstream Park’s 20-cent Rainbow 6 will have a mandatory payout Sunday and the pool is expected to climb to more than $5 million.

The carryover going into Sunday’s mandatory payout is $866,897.06.

The Rainbow 6 will begin with Race 6, an allowance optional claimer at a 1 1/16-mile on the turf for 4-year-olds and up, and conclude with Race 11, a maiden special weight event for 3-year-old fillies on the turf at a mile.

Race 6: Nine older horses entered the two-turn, $92,000 allowance optional claimer and Belmont Derby (G1) winner Far Bridge will make his 4-year-old debut as the favorite. The son of English Channel was third in the Saratoga Derby (G1) and second in the National Thoroughbred League Dueling Ground (G3). He makes his first start since September. Lucky Score, originally entered in Saturday’s Appleton, is the 3-1. Napoleonic War comes out of the Canadian Turf (G3), where he finished ninth.

Race 7: Eleven 3-year-olds go to post in this $89,000 maiden special weight event at 1 1/16 miles. Military Road (2-1) enters off a closing second-place finish last out at a mile. First-time starters will come out of the barns of Todd Pletcher (Invigorated), Bill Mott (Derby Street), Phil Antonacci (Still a Soldier) and William Tharrenos (Canadian Tuxedo). Jena Antonucci will saddle Tommy Two Socks and Big Rich.

Race 8: It’s a starter optional claimer at a mile on the turf for 3-year-old fillies and it’s a full field and a tepid favorite 9-2 favorite in Wow Lucky, a winner last out for Garry Lee. John Velazquez returns in the saddle. Goats On a Tree had three third in a victory in his last four starts for Saffie Joseph Jr., while On the Nile draws post for trainer Brendan Walsh.

Race 11: If you’re alive, congratulations. Now you have to solve this maiden special weight event at a mile on the turf for 3-year-old fillies. Todd Pletcher sends out first-time starter Braid, a daughter of American Pharoah, while Michael Matz sends out another firster in Midnight Prowler, a daughter of Gun Runner. Tramontane was beaten less than two lengths in her second start last time out while Godolphin’s Pendulum was beaten a neck. Brendan Walsh trains.
