G3-Placed Carnival Colors Makes Triumphant Return Saturday
1:10 P.M. Post for Sunday’s Nine-Race Card

LAUREL, MD – The 20-cent Rainbow 6 carryover jackpot swelled to $25,897.90 for Sunday after going unsolved during Saturday’s nine-race program at Laurel Park.

No horses were live heading into Saturday’s 10th-race finale to take down popular multi-race wager, which saw $12,521 of new money bet on top of a $21,890.95 carryover from Friday’s card.

Multiple tickets with all six winners each returned $231.16.

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.

Sunday’s Rainbow 6 spans Races 4-9. The sequence includes 1 1/16-mile allowance events over Laurel’s world-class turf course in Races 4 and 6; a 6 ½-furlong allowance in Race 7 and six-furlong optional claiming allowance in Race 8, both sprinting on the dirt; and a $40,000 maiden special weight for 3-year-olds and up in Race 5.

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

Eager to run her first race in more than four months, Neal Allread’s Baby Boss ($10.40) broke open the starting gate while waiting for her rivals to load, then settled in for a gate-to-wire triumph in 1:03.47 for 5 ½ furlongs in Saturday’s featured Race 8, a $47,000 third-level optional claiming allowance for fillies and mares 3 and up

Earlier Saturday, Godolphin homebred Carnival Colors returned from nearly nine months on the shelf to edge past Adult in the Room in deep stretch and capture Race 5, an open $42,000 entry-level allowance for females 3 and older, in 1:41.53 over a firm All Along turf course. A 3-year-old Distorted Humor filly bred in England, Carnival Colors ($6.20) was making her grass debut in her first start since finishing second by a neck in the Mazarine (G3) on Woodbine’s synthetic surface Oct. 6.

Owner and co-breeder Joan P. Everett’s She’s Achance Too ($5.80), winless in three starts since having a four-race win streak snapped last fall, sprinted to a front-running 6 ¾-length victory in Race 4, a $45,000 second-level optional claiming allowance for fillies and mares 3 and up, running six furlongs in 1:08.88. The 5-year-old Maryland-bred mare was claimed for $35,000 by trainer Mark Reid on behalf of Smart Angle LLP.

Notes: Jockey Sheldon Russell rode back-to-back winners Saturday, aboard She’s Achance Too ($5.80) in Race 4 and Carnival Colors ($6.20) in Race 5. Also with two wins were Jorge Vargas Jr., on Vouch ($4) in Race 2 and Baby Boss ($10.40) in Race 8, and meet leader Trevor McCarthy, who bookended the day with Homeofthe Lombardi ($5) in Race 1 and Elusive Hero ($3.80) in Race 10.
