BALTIMORE – There was no unique winner of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 Friday at Pimlico Race Course, pushing the Maryland state record carryover jackpot to $915,457 heading into today’s eight-race program.

    First race post time is 12:40 p.m. Doors will open at 11 a.m. to accommodate an 11:35 a.m. first post from Belmont Park on Belmont Stakes Day. The Belmont, featuring Preakness Stakes winner Rombauer, goes off as Race 11 with a 6:49 p.m. post.

    No horses were live to take down the Rainbow 6 jackpot heading into Friday’s eighth-race finale, won by Shanghaied Astoria ($6.40). A total of $63,115 was put into the multi-race wager on top of a carryover of $895,264 from Monday’s special Memorial Day holiday program. Multiple tickets with all six winners each returned $4,326.

    Introduced in Maryland on April 2, 2015, opening day of Pimlico’s spring meet, the Rainbow 6 had its previous state record carryover reach $345,898 spanning 31 racing programs before being solved by one lucky bettor for a life-changing $399,545.94 payout on April 15, 2018 at Laurel Park. The winning ticket was purchased through Maine off-track betting. comments powered by Disqus
