Rainbow pick six carryover more than $1.6 million; mandatory payout Saturday

The racing week resumes on Thursday at Del Mar with a carryover of $1,645,118 in the 20-cent Rainbow pick six and a mandatory payout looming on Saturday.

Track officials are banking on a massive carryover in the Rainbow pick six on Saturday’s Pacific Classic program to produce record handle at the meeting. This is the first year Del Mar has offered a pick six with a Rainbow format that pays the entire pool on days when there is a single winning ticket. If there are multiple winning tickets, some of the pool is directed into a carryover, which has swelled in recent weeks.

There are two days at the summer meeting with mandatory payouts – Saturday and closing day on Sept. 6.
