On one of the biggest shopping days of the year in the United States, Maywood Park hopes to put some extra spending money in its customer’s hands with several changes in the 'gimmick wagering' format starting Friday, November 26.
In an attempt to create the superfecta carryovers that so many fans have requested, Maywood is returning to a one-dollar superfecta minimum wager instead of the current 10-cent superfecta format which had been available previously.
“Carryovers are the best value in our industry and create the most hype,” said Maywood Park Mutuel Manager Vern Glaenzer. “After speaking to a lot of our regular customer base who told us that they would really like the chance to play into some larger carryover pools when it came to superfecta wagering, the decision was made to go back to a one-dollar minimum on the superfectas every Thursday and Friday night.”
Dime players will still have the chance to nail some big payouts as well, as Maywood Park has added another High 5 on Race 4 on Thursday nights and two more High 5 wagers on the Friday cards with Races 4 and 14 now sporting the popular wager. The High 5 will still remain on Race 10 both nights.
In other gimmick changes which will take place starting Friday, November 26, the one-dollar Pick 3 will shift to Races 3, 4 and 5 on both nights, while the 50-cent Pick 5 wager will now consist of Races 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 on both nights. There will be no longer be a one-dollar Pick 4 on Thursday nights, but the wager will be available on Races 11, 12,13 and 14 on Maywood’s Friday night programs.
A complete list of the new wagering format for both Thursdays and Fridays appears below. First-race post time on both nights will remain at 7:10 p.m. (cst).
