A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 yielded multiple payoffs of $41,654.20 Sunday at Gulfstream Park, closing day of the 2025-2026 Championship Meet.

    The multi-race wager had gone unsolved for seven days to close the country’s most prestigious race meeting, following mandatory payouts of $3,359 on March 15.

    There was $2,962,066 of new money bet into the Rainbow 6 Sunday on top of a $286,399 carryover from Saturday’s spectacular Curlin Florida Derby Day program, for a total pool of $3,248,465.

    Barakah captured the Race 11 finale to complete the winning 5-7-7-8-3-8 combination. Other winners in the sequence were Donegal Rocks ($13.60) in Race 6, Miami Frank ($4.40) in Race 7, Navy Cross ($23.20) in Race 8, Caller ($37.40) in Race 9 and Palace View ($6.80) in Race 10.

    The Rainbow 6 begins anew when the Royal Palm Meet, which runs through Aug. 30, opens with a nine-race program Thursday. Post time is 12:50 p.m.
