Horseplayers have a growing jackpot to tackle at Harrah's Philadelphia, as Thursday's (June 27) program will see the Jackpot Hi-5 offer a $20,999.84 carryover.

After favourites Birch Island Betty ($6.80) and Chillin It De Vie keyed an 8-4-5-3-1 combination in Wednesday's (June 26) fifth race that yielded $277.96 to multiple players, the Hi-5 jackpot cracked the $20,000 plateau for the second time this season.

The 20-cent wager carries a low 15 per cent takeout and occurs daily in the fifth race, with the carryover paid out in the event of one unique winner. In the event of no or multiple winners, the carryover progresses to the next card.

Post time on Thursday is 12:25 p.m. Eastern.
