The chance to make a Pick 6 score on Monday night (Jan. 21) at Pompano Park didn’t last long for patrons. There were no live tickets remaining after just two legs, as Rollingndiamonds ($136.80) and Jelectric ($17.60) pulled off upsets.
The sequence would go on to return $941 for those that selected five of six, but the lion’s share, $9,533 will move forward into a carryover for Tuesday (Jan. 22). Track officials, in conjunction with the USTA’s Strategic Wagering Program, have placed an ‘instant guarantee’ of $25,000 on the total pool Tuesday night. Free past performances can be found in the ‘handicapping’ section of ustrotting.com.
Pompano’s Pick 6 is a nightly wager that begins on Race 3 and features a low 15 per cent takeout and a 50-cent minimum. If no one selects six of six, a 25 per cent consolation is paid to those that have the most winners, while 75 per cent of the pool moves into a carryover for the next racing program.
The fourth-race pentafecta also went unsolved on Monday night, thus leaving a $4,449 carryover into Tuesday night’s fourth race.
Live racing continues at Pompano five nights per week, with a first post of 7:20 p.m. Sunday through Thursday. There will be no live racing on Super Bowl Sunday (Feb 2).
