1/ST BET Picks: Pimlico Friday Rainbow 6 Longshots | Friday, July 2

by Xpressbet

July 1, 2021

The $1.4 million Rainbow 6 jackpot carryover maintains its single-ticket provision for Friday racing at Pimlico – though a mandatory payout has been announced for Sunday, July 4. The largest carryover in Maryland racing history comprises Races 3-8 on the card that kicks off the holiday weekend.

To take down the entire pool, you'll need some longshots to separate you from the pack. The 1/ST BET app's artificial intelligence selections for today's Rainbow 6 have pin-pointed some price players to consider.

RACE 3 (1:40PM ET) // MAIDEN CLAIMING // 5 FURLONGS (DIRT)
LONGSHOT: #9 SIX O'CLOCK SARAH (8/1) // 12% Win Projection (Third best in race)

Debut third to build off of for trainer winning 34% in 2021.


RACE 4 (2:12PM ET) // CLAIMING // 1 MILE (TURF)
LONGSHOT: #12 LEADING FACTOR (10/1) // 12% Win Projection (Fourth best in race)

$300,000 yearling buy hasn’t lived up to that, but could enjoy change of venue to Pimlico.


RACE 6 (3:12PM ET) // CLAIMING // 5 1/2 FURLONGS (DIRT)
LONGSHOT: #6 FRANKEE MERCH (15/1) // 12% Win Projection (Third-best in race)

RACE 7 (3:46PM ET) // OPTIONAL CLAIMING // 6 FURLONGS (DIRT)
LONGSHOT: #6 SW BRIAR ROSE (8/1) // 17% Win Projection (Third best in race)

Beaten only 1-1/2 lengths in Pimlico stakes over this distance in 2020.
