After going unsolved during an all-stakes sequence May 15 capped by Rombauer's upset victory in the 146th Preakness (G1), Middle Jewel of the Triple Crown, the 20-cent Rainbow 6 will have a Maryland state record jackpot carryover of $562,931 when live racing returns to Pimlico Race Course Thursday.
Post time for the first of eight races is 12:40 p.m.
The jackpot carryover represents a state record amount for the Rainbow 6, which was introduced in Maryland April 2, 2015 on opening day of Pimlico's spring meet. The previous record carryover reached $345,898.33 spanning 31 racing programs before being solved by one lucky bettor for a life-changing $399,545.94 payout April 15, 2018 at Laurel Park. The winning ticket was purchased through Maine off-track betting.
