The Meadows Racetrack & Casino has increased — to $12,500 — the total-pool guarantee for its Monday, Aug. 7 Pick 4 wager as part of the United States Trotting Association's Strategic Wagering Initiative.

While $5,000 Pick 4 guarantees are regular features of each card, the Meadows sweetened the pot when Saturday’s Pick 4 was uncovered, which resulted in a carryover of $2,486.86.

Minimum wager for the Pick 4 (Races 4-7) 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.

Monday’s program features a $60,000 Pennsylvania Stallion Series stakes races for two-year-old filly pacers. First post is 1:05 p.m.
