Harrah's Philly Hi-5 Jackpot Over $70K

Horseplayers can take aim at a soaring jackpot in Thursday afternoon's (Aug. 8) fifth race at Harrah's Philadelphia, as the Jackpot Hi-5 carryover has eclipsed the $70,000 plateau.

In the fifth race on Wednesday (Aug. 7), second choice Fashionwoodchopper ($7.00, David Miller) and odds-on favourite Gold Medal Swan (George Napolitano Jr.) keyed a 5-9-1-7-4 combination that returned a dividend of $653.80 to multiple players. As a result, the carryover for Thursday has grown to $71,708.05.

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. The highest Jackpot Hi-5 dividend to date at Harrah's Philadelphia is $35,989.90, claimed on the May 23 program.

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