The Meadows Racetrack & Casino has doubled — to $10,000 — the total-pool guarantee for its Monday, Oct. 5 Pick 4 wager as part of the United States Trotting Association's Strategic Wagering Initiative.

While $5,000 Pick 4 guarantees are regular features each Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, The Meadows upped the ante when Friday’s Pick 4 was uncovered, resulting in a carryover of $2,119.31.

Minimum wager for the Pick 4 (Races 4-7) 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 is 12:55 p.m.
