Pompano Park’s first Monday night card of its current meet saw only one post-time favourite reach the winner’s circle, as a parade of longshots left a wake of carryovers into the Florida raceway’s Tuesday night program of live racing.
The 50-Cent Pick 5 will feature a carryover of $1,982 (track officials have placed a $7,500 guarantee on the total pool). The 50-Cent Pick 5 is a nightly wager covering Races 1 – 5.
The pentafecta is a brand new wager for the 2015-16 season, featured on the fourth race of each live racing program. Fans must select the top five finishers in order, with the wager featuring a 20-cent minimum. Despite the even money favourite, On The Tab (driven by Kevin Wallis), prevailing as the only winning favourite of the night, fans were unable to come up with the winning pentafecta combination. Tuesday night’s fourth race pentafecta pool will feature a $2,085 carryover and a $7,500 guaranteed pool.
The Pick 4 also went uncovered on Monday evening, thus leaving a healthy $5,645 carryover into Tuesday night. Track officials have placed an ‘Instant Guarantee’ of $20,000 on the total pool. The Pick 4 is a nightly wager covering Races 6 – 9, featuring a 50-Cent minimum and an industry low takeout of only 12 per cent.
Live racing continues at Pompano on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday evenings with a first post of 7:30 p.m.
