The Meadows Racetrack & Casino has tripled — to $15,000 — the total-pool guarantee for its Wednesday (March 29) Pick 4 wager as part of the United States Trotting Association's Strategic Wagering Initiative.

While $5,000 Pick 4 guarantees are offered each card, The Meadows upped the ante when Tuesday’s Pick 4 was uncovered, resulting in a carryover of $5,508.29.

Wednesday’s program also features a $3,412.21 Pick 5 carryover.

Minimum wager for the Pick 4 (races 4-7) and Pick 5 (races 8-12) is 50 cents. Since Pennsylvania law requires a minimum per-race wager of $2, a player wagering at the 50-cent level must bet at least four tickets.

First post Wednesday is 1:00 p.m.
