Western Fair Adjusts Pick 3 Minimum

Harness racing at The Raceway at Western Fair District

The Raceway at Western Fair District has announced a change to its Pick-3 wagering format.

Following the first month of the 2026-27 meet, The Raceway will reduce the minimum Pick-3 wager from $2 to $1 effective Friday, Nov. 13.

The $2 minimum was introduced at the start of the season in an effort to enhance wagering value and generate larger payouts for horseplayers.

"We wanted to make a change coming into the season and, in hindsight, bumping the minimum from 20 cents to $2 was likely too ambitious," said Greg Blanchard, Director of Equine Programming. "It unquestionably bolstered the payouts, but overall pool size has dipped, so we've made the decision to adjust the minimum to $1 in hopes it generates more play while maintaining better payouts."

The Pick-3 wager will continue to be offered on designated races throughout each live race card.
