The Meadows Racetrack & Casino has increased the total-pool guarantee for its Saturday, June 16 Pick 4 wager to $12,500 as part of the United States Trotting Association's Strategic Wagering Initiative.

While $7,500 Pick 4 guarantees are offered each card, The Meadows upped the ante when Wednesday’s Pick 4 was uncovered, resulting in a carryover of $4,382.16.

In addition, Saturday’s program features a $5,000 total-pool guarantee for the Pick 5 (races 9-13), a $2,404.55 carryover in the day’s first Superfecta (currently race 2) and a $2,517.70 jackpot in the Super High 5 (race 13).

Minimum wager for the Pick 4, Pick 5, Superfecta and Super High 5 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 time Saturday is 1:05 p.m.
