Christmas will come a few days early for horseplayers, as Woodbine Racetrack has announced a mandatory payout on the Standardbred Jackpot Hi-5 for Saturday, December 23.

The Jackpot Hi-5 carryover currently sits at $153,104.77 with six cards remaining ahead of December 23. There will be no freezing of the pool ahead of the mandatory payout.

This will be the second consecutive year that Woodbine has offered a Jackpot Hi-5 mandatory payout on the final card before Christmas.

The most recent mandatory payout offered on the Woodbine Standardbred product was on October 14 at Mohawk. The carryover that evening was a record $978,779 and horseplayers wagered an additional $2.3 million on the Hi-5.

Winning horseplayers on October 14 got back $2,446.33 for a 20-cent ticket.

The Jackpot Hi-5 requires horseplayers to select the top-five finishers in order and features a 20-cent minimum wager with a 15 per cent takeout. The wager is offered nightly on the final race of each card.
