A Couple Dimes Could Bring Millions At Gulfstream

After months building an already-enormous pot, the "Rainbow 6" betting pool at Gulfstream Park will be paid out in full Monday with track officials estimating that $16 million — potentially a record for a Pick 6 at any North American track — could be up for grabs. "There's a possibility, if somebody wants to play a birthday for 20 cents and something really goofy happens with longshots, there's a chance a guy could walk away with the entire pot," Gulfstream Park President Tim Ritvo said Sunday. Gulfstream Park isn't allowed to carry over pools from one racing season to the next, and under Florida law that means the Rainbow 6 would have to be paid out before the state's fiscal year ends next month. [...] Gulfstream, in response to some customers' requests, applied for permission to make Memorial Day the payout day. [...] again, maybe it's the year where small risks pay giant rewards, akin to the story of Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner California Chrome — bred from an $8,000 mare to a $2,500 stallion, and now one race away from winning a Triple Crown.
