The Red Mile has made playing the races a bit more enticing for its horseplayers and fans.

Beginning with this Sunday's (Sept. 6) card, the retention rate on the daily Pick-4 wager (races 7-10) has been reduced to 15 per cent and will come with a pool guarantee of $5,000 on Sundays, courtesy of The Red Mile and the USTA Strategic Wagering program.

This pairs nicely with the existing Pick-5 on races 2-6, which also offers the low takeout rate of 15 per cent.

The Red Mile is currently racing live on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday with a 1 p.m. post time each day.

Looking ahead

The Red Mile will host a very limited number of spectators to its live race meet, beginning with the Sept. 20 Kentucky Sire Stakes Finals and continuing through the remainder of the meet. The full racing schedule is available on the Red Mile website.

The following groups may attend:

Horse owners and trainers with Kentucky racing licenses, credentialed members of the media, and a limited number of reserved tickets will be made available. The clubhouse will be open for dining on a required reservation basis. Admission tickets and clubhouse reservations can be requested by emailing [email protected].

Masks, social distancing and screening (temperature checks and questionnaire) will be required for attendance, as per Kentucky regulations for COVID-19.
