Nine-Race Card Features Five Stakes Worth $450,000 in Purses
Alwaysmining 4-5 Program Favorite for $100,000 Private Terms

LAUREL, MD – The 20-cent Rainbow 6 went unsolved Friday at Laurel Park, growing the carryover jackpot to $17,201.98 for Saturday’s nine-race program that features five stakes worth $450,000 in purses, led by the $100,000 Private Terms for 3-year-olds.

First race post time is 1:10 p.m.

The popular multi-race wager, which began with a carryover of $15,318.66 from Laurel’s last live program March 10, saw multiple tickets with all six winners each return $1,412.48.

The carryover jackpot is only paid out when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 60 percent of that day’s pool goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 40 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.

Saturday’s jackpot is the largest in Laurel’s Rainbow 6 since a $17,184 carryover following the Dec. 16, 2018 program. The jackpot carryover reached $21,746 following the next live card Dec. 21 before being solved for a $31,286.30 payout Dec. 22.

The Rainbow 6 spans races 6-11 Saturday and includes the $100,000 Beyond the Wire for 3-year-old fillies in Race 7, the $100,000 Private Terms in Race 8, the $75,000 Conniver in Race 9 and $75,000 Not For Love in Race 10, both for Maryland-bred/sired horses.

Alwaysmining, a winner of four straight races including three consecutive stakes, is the 4-5 program favorite for the Private Terms, a prep for the $125,000 Federico Tesio April 20, a ‘Win and In’ race for Triple Crown-nominated horses to the 144th Preakness Stakes (G1) May 18 at legendary Pimlico Race Course.

The Beyond the Wire is a prep for the $125,000 Wide Country April 20, a ‘Win and In’ race for the 95th Black-Eyed Susan (G2) May 17 at Pimlico.

Kicking off Saturday’s stakes action in Race 6 is the $100,000 Harrison E. Johnson Memorial for 4-year-olds and up going 1 1/8 miles which drew a field of seven, all stakes winners.

Notes: Jockey Horacio Karamanos posted a riding double Friday, aboard Broad Expanse ($5.20) in a dead-heat for first in Race 3, and Deep Red ($14.40) in Race 5. Also winning twice were Jorge Vargas Jr., with Threatlovesmidnite ($6.80) in Race 1 and Wendell Fong ($3.40) in Race 8, and Victor Carrasco with Sacred Walk ($3.40) with Race 2 and Bunting ($3.60) in Race 9.
