The Meadows Racetrack & Casino has increased — to $12,500 — the total-pool guarantee for its Wednesday, Nov. 15 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 Tuesday’s Pick 4 was uncovered, resulting in a carryover of $3,634.52.

In addition, Wednesday’s card features a pair of carryovers: a $2,260.69 carryover in the day’s first Superfecta (currently race 2) and a $1,173.23 carryover in the Pick 5.

Minimum wager for Superfecta wheels and boxes, the Pick 4 (races 4-7) and the 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 1:05 p.m.
