Gulfstream Park: Rainbow 6 Mandatory Payout Set | Saturday, September 11

HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool has been scheduled for Saturday at Gulfstream Park. The Rainbow 6 has gone unsolved for 19 consecutive racing days since a July 31 mandatory payout. Gulfstream Park will return to a four-day racing week schedule starting with Thursday’s eight-race program that will offer a $700,000 Rainbow 6 jackpot pool guarantee. If not hit before Saturday, the Rainbow 6 could grow to approximately $3 million. Live racing will be conducted Thursday through Sunday for the remainder of the Spring/Summer Meet that runs through Sept. 30. Thursday’s first-race post time is set for 12:50 p.m. Thursday’s Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 3-8, headlined by a six-furlong optional claiming allowance for 3-year-olds in Race 7. Ralph Nicks-trained American Prince, who hasn’t raced since scoring a very impressive debut victory Feb. 28 at Gulfstream, is scheduled to return to action while taking on five rivals. The riding assignment goes to Emisael Jaramillo, who was aboard for the son of Liam’s Map’s 3 ½-length victory during the Championship Meet. Saffie Joseph Jr.-trained Bailey, a winner in a state-bred optional claiming allowance last time out, is the 5-2 morning-line favorite over 7-2 American Prince. The Rainbow 6 carryover jackpot is usually only 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 usually goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool. However, on mandatory-payout days, the entire pool is paid out to the bettor or bettors with the most winners in the six-race sequence. The four-day racing week will continue Friday with the return of the Stronach 5, a multi-race, multi-track wager with a $1 base. The five-race Stronach 5 will include two races at Gulfstream Park, as well as a pair of races at Laurel Park and one race at Golden Gate Fields.Gulfstream’s Race 5, a 7 ½-furlong maiden special weight race for juvenile fillies on turf, will kick off the Stronach 5, followed by Races 8 and 9 at Laurel Park. Gulfstream’s Race 7, a $12,500 claiming race at a mile on turf, and Golden Gate Fields’ Race 3 will conclude the sequence. Saturday’s program will feature the $75,000 Sheer Drama, a seven-furlong sprint for Florida-bred fillies and mares, and the $60,000 North Bay Village, an overnight handicap for fillies and mares at a mile on turf. Saffie Joseph Jr.-trained Sound Machine, who finished third in the July 3 Princess Rooney (G2), is entered to return to action in the Sheer Drama. Tom Proctor-trained Summering, a multiple-stakes winner by War Front, is scheduled to carry highweight of 124 pounds in the North Bay Village.

XBTV Bypasses 1,000 Workout Video Milestone for 2021 Saratoga & Del Mar Meets

ARCADIA, CA (Aug. 17, 2021) – Barely one month into this summer’s Saratoga and Del Mar meets, XBTV.com has already successfully captured, cataloged and uploaded more than 1,000 morning video workouts for racing’s marquee meets. This milestone provides handicappers with ‘behind the scenes’ access to the nation’s top horses and future stars and remains available without cost to 1/ST account holders. “You can refer to published workouts and form assumptions based only on final time, but the opportunity to view the video and gain an understanding of how the drill was accomplished can turn an educated guess into a confident wager,” said Jeff Siegel, Xpressbet.com handicapper and analyst.  “Especially at Saratoga and Del Mar, where fitness, quickness and readiness among two-year-olds and layoff runners must be accurately evaluated, the videos at XBTV.com provide the missing link to the handicapping process that the serious horseplayer simply cannot be without.” With the tracks’ two premier days on tap for later this month – Del Mar’s Pacific Classic on August 21 and Saratoga’s Travers on August 28 – now is the perfect time to browse XBTV’s video library to gain an edge while handicapping races.  XBTV teams in California and New York have been hard at work since before both tracks opened in July, capturing workouts for horses of all talent levels, from graded stakes winners to the unraced two-year-olds looking to join them.  XBTV’s video workout library is available at no cost for 1/ST account holders. To setup a free 1/ST account, simply visit XBTV.com and provide your name, email address and date of birth. A 1/ST account also allows customers to access the 1/ST BET and Xpressbet betting platforms as well as BETMIX handicapping software.  As happens at Santa Anita Park and Gulfstream Park during the Winter and Spring, two XBTV camera operators are trackside each morning working with the Official Clockers at each track to record the workouts.  The full XBTV library extends beyond two years of workout footage, which allows handicappers the opportunity to look at how a horse’s work pattern might have changed – positively or negatively – throughout its career.  XBTV’s exclusive video workouts will return to Santa Anita and Gulfstream this fall prior to both tracks’ the October meets.

Jeremy Plonk: 'First Family of Mutuels' Honored Wednesday at Saratoga | Wednesday, August 11

Whether you backed Sir Barton in 1919, Citation in 1948 or American Pharoah in 2015, the Mahony family was there to take your bet. Saratoga honors horse racing’s ‘First Family of Mutuels’ with the third running of the Mahony Stakes on Wednesday, August 11, 2021. The namesake race may only take a minute over its turf-dash distance, but the Mahony family has been instrumental in the tote business for more than a century. The Mahony Stakes honors former NYRA Senior Vice President of Mutuels Pat Mahony, whose 50-year personal run in the business came to a close in 2016. His lineage in the tote business preceded through his father, Riggs, and his grandfather, Mortimer ‘Mort’ Mahony. The eldest Mahony began taking bets in the late 1800s as a bookmaker at New York tracks like Sheepshead Bay, Morris Park, Brighton Beach and, yes, even Saratoga. He helped see the racing business through its transition to totalisator machines, which started in 1932 at historic Hialeah Park in Florida, and aided Harry L. Straus, founder of the American Totalisator Company, known still today as AmTote, the industry leader under the 1/ST TECHNOLOGY portfolio. The ‘Mahony Pari-Mutuel College’ taught many of North America’s early mutuel managers about the operation, spreading the family’s influence to all shores. And that hands-on mentorship ensures that the impact of the Mahony family will be felt far longer than the three generations in name. Pat Mahony became an ardent student and researcher of America’s history of betting the horses…and he’s helped shape much of it on his own. Said AmTote President and 1/ST TECHNOLOGY Chief Revenue Officer, Keith Johnson, “When I joined this industry just out of college as a part-time employee, not knowing what my career path was to be, I had the great fortune of starting at Calder Race Course and Gulfstream Park, where Pat Mahony ran the mutuel operations. I cannot overstate how valuable and enjoyable it was working for and with someone with that depth of knowledge, professionalism, and sincere love for the industry. It directly influenced what would become my own lifelong career in this business. It has been an honor and a privilege to know and learn from Pat throughout the years. He and his family contributed immeasurably to our collective business from its very beginnings. The Mahony Stakes is an awesome way for NYRA and our industry to honor Pat and his family’s legacy.  I am, and I think I can confidently say our entire industry is, forever grateful.” The Mahony family is honored with a plaque in the clubhouse at Belmont Park. But on Wednesday, its namesake race will once again focus the racing world’s attention on venerable Saratoga. And all eyes will be on the toteboard in search of the right horse at the right price. That much you can bet on.

Press Release: Assiniboia Downs Offering $1 Million Payout on August 2 | Thursday, July 22

  WINNIPEG, July 22, 2021 – Assiniboia Downs is offering a $1 million payout on Manitoba Derby Day, Monday, Aug. 2 if there is a player who has the only winning ticket of the Jackpot Pick 5. If there is more than one winning ticket, all winners will share in the mandatory jackpot payout scheduled for that day which could exceed $1 million.   The $1 million guarantee payout on Derby Day will be offered providing the Jackpot Pick 5 pool is not won before then. If that happens, the Derby Day guarantee will be $250,000 to a sole ticket holder and it will not be a mandatory payout.   “We really wanted to make a big bang this year with the Derby”, said CEO Darren Dunn.  “And what better way to do that than with an unprecedented $1 million guarantee for a player with a single winning ticket. With the excitement from this, it is quite possible that the pool could even be more!   The pool requires the correct selection of the winners of the last five races of the program.  Tickets cost just 20-cents per combination.   Following this event, the pool will have a $250,000 single winner payout guarantee every race day (Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays) starting on Tuesday, Aug. 3 through the remainder of the meet on Sep. 15 or until it is won.   “We are so excited to be able to offer this $250k guarantee on all race days,” continued Dunn.  “This offer will certainly stand out during our weekday racing schedule and add some real value for fans.”   As of this writing, the Jackpot Pick 5 pool--which is offered on each day’s race card--has grown to $269,614 because there hasn’t been a single correct ticket to win the whole pool. That amount will form part of the mandatory payout of the Jackpot Pick 5 on Derby Day.    Racing continues every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday through September 15 at 7:30 pm (Central Time).
