Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Md.
Sunday s 20-cent Rainbow 6 at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Md., will feature full fields and competitive races for bettors as they attempt to take down a Maryland state-record jackpot carryover of $670,306.25 after it went unsolved during Saturday s program.
First race post time Sunday is 12:40 p.m. ET.
Two horses were live to take down the jackpot heading into Saturday s ninth-race finale, won by Crystalology ($20.60). A total of $138,902 was bet into the popular multi-race wager, which began with a carryover of $625,866.27 from Friday. Multiple tickets with all six winners each returned $16,664.98.
The Rainbow 6 jackpot is paid out only 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.

Always Sunshine wins off the layoff on Jan. 24, 2021
It was only about an hour before sunset when the sunshine blazed forth on a late winter afternoon at Laurel Park.
Always Sunshine, a Florida homebred of Gil Campbell s Stonehedge LLC trained by Pimlico Race Course-based septuagenarian Edward T. Ned Allard, made his triumphant 9-year-old debut Jan. 24 off a 541-day gap between races.
Guided by jockey Carol Cedeno, his regular rider since the spring of 2019, Always Sunshine recovered from a slight outward bobble at the start of the 5 ½-furlong optional claiming allowance for 4-year-olds and up to press Stroll Smokin into the stretch. It wasn t until midway through the lane when the West Acre gelding out of the Awesome Again mare Sunny Again was able to clear the favored pacesetter and edge away to a 1 ¼-length victory.
