Closing night of the 2017 racing season at Batavia Downs features a guaranteed $2,500 early Pick 5 pool and a $1,000 Pick 6 contest, both with mandatory payouts on Saturday (Dec. 16).
The $2,500 guaranteed early Pick-5 pool begins in race one and runs through race five. The Pick 5 is a 50-cent base wager and as it’s the final one of the meet, there will be a mandatory payout. This means if no one picks all five winners, the person(s) selecting the most winners will be paid. There is no late Pick-5 on Saturday.
Saturday's guaranteed pool is part of the USTA’s Strategic Wagering Program and as such, free program pages courtesy of Trackmaster are available on the USTA’s website.

Then starting in race four, the free-to-enter $1,000 Pick 6 contest is offered to fans on-track, and it too will have a mandatory payout.
In order to win, contestants must pick the winners of races four through nine. Those wishing to play must pick up their entry blank at the Player’s Club beginning at 4:30 p.m. and then deposit their completed selections no later than the start of the fourth race. There is only one entry per person. If no one correctly picks all six winners, the person(s) selecting the most winners will be paid.
Post time for the first race on closing night is 6:00 p.m.
