Racing fans will have some ‘free money’ to make things interesting on Thursday night at Hawthorne Race Course.

A trio of carryovers, headlined by the $25,000 Guaranteed Late Pick 5, should give fans plenty of opportunities to take home a pocketful of cash on the 11-race program.

With a carryover of $9,479 in the 50-cent Late Pick 5, Hawthorne’s track management along with the United States Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program have joined forces to offer up a $25,000 guaranteed pool on the popular wager which takes place on the final five races of the night (7-11) on Thursday.

If that wasn’t enough to get fans excited about the Thursday card, there is also a carryover of $20,901 on 20-cent Jackpot High 5 wager which takes place on the final race of the night (11). That wager is a ‘jackpot’ type of wager, meaning there must be only one ticket that selects the top five finishers of the nightcap in the exact order.

The 20-cent Place Pick 10 wager, which is on races 1-10 each night, also has a carryover of $1,503 heading into Thursday’s card so Hawthorne’s fans can jump right into the action which gets underway at 7:20 p.m. (Central) on Thursday, May 19.

Please note that the first-race post time for next Sunday’s Hawthorne card (May 22) will be moved back to7:35 p.m. (Central).
