Florida-bred allowance part of Rainbow 6

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – A $44,000 turf allowance for Florida-breds (race 7) and a pair of starter-allowances with $38,000 purses (races 3 and 6) will be among the offerings when the five-day Pegasus week gets started Wednesday at Gulfstream with a 10-race program.

The statebred allowance drew a field of eight and is part of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 (races 5-10), which will have a guaranteed payout of $750,000 in case anyone plays a solo winning ticket. The actual jackpot carryover starts the week at $400,559.

◗ When a 3-year-old colt named Annex rallied to prevail at first asking Saturday, he continued a remarkable recent run at Gulfstream for Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott. Starting Dec. 31, the last seven Gulfstream winners for Mott all have been in maiden-special events: Miss Tapirado, Sir Ollie, Jade Empress, Candy Man Rocket, Simovitch, Mail Order, and Annex.

Annex, by Constitution, earned an 81 Beyer in capturing a one-mile turf race. Mott, who won or tied for nine leading-trainer titles here from 1993 to 2002, trains the colt for the LNJ Foxwoods of the Roth family.
