Mandatory payouts at Pimlico set for Monday's closing day

There will be mandatory payouts on all Pimlico wagers Monday, the final card of a 12-day meet. This is especially significant since coming into the Friday races at Pimlico, the Rainbow 6 carryover stood at $240,824.

If the Rainbow 6 is not hit over the weekend, it essentially turns into a normal pick six Monday. The Rainbow 6 jackpot normally is paid out only when there is a single winning ticket. On Monday, the tickets selecting the most winners will split the entire pool.

The minimum wager Monday will remain 20 cents.

The large carryover traces to Preakness Day, which was dominated by favorites. Because there were multiple tickets selecting all six winners, that day’s pool resulted in a $216,237 carryover into Thursday’s program. An additional $76,841 was wagered into the pool and, once again, there were multiple winning tickets.

Any carryovers in the late pick five and Super Hi 5 also will be paid out Monday.
