There will be a new pool on the Rainbow 6, on races three through eight.
On Sunday, there was a single ticket with the winners of all six Rainbow 6 races. So Gulfstream paid out the full jackpot/carryover of $307,207.48.
The Rainbow 6 is a 20-cent only per combination bet, with multiple horses allowed in each race.
On days with multiple tickets with all six winners, Gulfstream takes out 20 percent of the new Rainbow 6 bets. It divides 56 percent of the day’s bet among those tickets and adds 24 percent to the carryover.
