Well, just in case the 14 races here yesterday on Fountain of Youth Day weren't enough, 13 more are on tap on a Sunday card that features a jackpot rollover of $2,335,146 in the Rainbow 6, which spans races 8-13. First post is noon ET, with 3 allowances serving as nominal features, including the return of G1 winner Sailor's Valentine in race 9.
It's been an extraordinarily good winter for weather, and conditions couldn't be better than they are today. The high will reach about 74, with a light breeze blowing. Fast and firm. There are just 3 early SCR: R3-(1); R10-(2); R11-(1).
After today, Gulf goes dark for 2 days before another 5-day week resumes Wednesday with a 10-percent purse increase in effect for all overnight races. There's still no word from GP officials on whether there will be an interim "forceout" of the Rainbow 6 prior to the end of the championship meet April 1. The last forceout on Jan. 28 resulted in nearly $20 million being dispersed.
