Heading into the weekend, the Gulfstream Park Rainbow Pick 6 carryover was still going strong. Prior to Saturday’s card, the carryover pool had grown to over $1.4 million. A mandatory payout was instituted for Saturday, and that attracted even more betting action.
Another $10.6 million flooded into the pool, which boosted the pot to over $12 million. At the conclusion of the Pick 6 sequence, there wasn’t a single unique ticket which held all the winners.
However, there were several. That translated into a number of winning bettors having a fantastic weekend at the races. Bettors who selected all six winners in a row wound up walking away with a cool $31,476.56.
This is the second time in recent weeks that Gulfstream has gone the mandatory payout route with the Pick 6. Back on April 19, the pot was once again split by multiple bettors who pulled in $20,158.94 each for their winning efforts.
The pool was reset for Sunday’s card, so we’ll certainly be keeping an eye to see how far it grows this time around. Here’s what else we’ll be keeping our eye on for the coming week.

Add it all up, and it shapes up to be an interesting week of horse racing action even with only a handful of tracks up and running. In a perfect world, the list will grow even larger as situations permit across the nation. Best of luck this week!
