Effective Friday, March 2, the Late Pick 4 Gross Pool Guarantees on Fridays and Saturdays at Cal-Expo will be increased to $20,000

.

"Our players have spoken with their wagering dollars and we are answering by increasing the gross guarantees of these pools," said Cal-Expo Director of Racing David Elliott. "We will make every effort to provide value in these races by offering competitive and full fields, and will continue to offer a reduced 15 percent takeout rate on all Pick 4’s."

The USTA Strategic Wagering committee will partner up with Cal-Expo and the horsemen to guarantee the Saturday night pools.
