On Monday, July 14, The Meadows Racetrack & Casino will offer a $12,500-guaranteed pool for its Pick 5 wager as part of the United States Trotting Association's Strategic Wagering Initiative. The Meadows added the “instant” guarantee after Friday’s Pick 5 was uncovered, resulting in a two-day carryover of $3,448.99.

The Pick 5 guarantee will complement a $5,000-guaranteed pool for the Pick 4, a regular feature of the track’s Monday and Tuesday cards.

Minimum wager for the Pick 4 (Races 4-7) and Pick 5 (Races 12-16) is 50 cents. Since Pennsylvania law requires a minimum per-race wager of $2, a player wagering at the 50-cent level must bet at least four tickets.

First post for Monday’s program, which features an $80,000 Pennsylvania Stallion Series stake for two-year-old colt and gelding trotters, is 12:55 p.m.
