Despite getting away poorly from the gate in the 1 1/8-mile turf race for maiden 3yo fillies, LALIBELA just ruined a whole lot of Rainbow 6 tickets while opening up the very real possibility the elusive solo ticket might finally be sold today when she won the first leg of the sequence (race 8) as a 31-1 shot. Luis Saez, the meet's leading jockey, rode the first-time-starting Giant's Causeway filly for trainer Michael Matz. The win mutuel was $65.

The day started with $2,946,550 in the pool and attracted another $649,541 in new bets. No solo winner has been sold in the Rainbow 6 since nearly $20 million was paid out in the Jan. 28 dispersal.
