Officials with Pompano Park have announced that the track’s Jackpot Hi-Five is continuing to gain steam, as the carryover for the wager is no up to a record $150,058. Additionally, the track has guaranteed the pool for its Pick 4 wager at $25,000.
The Jackpot Hi-Five carryover narrowly escaped the Monday night festivities, with only two winning tickets out despite the four heavy favourites finishing first, second, fourth, and fifth. River Rising (driven by Dave Ingraham) finished third in the finale at odds of 97-1. The 20-cent consolation payout was worth $2,684.
Pompano patrons were unable to solve the Pick 4 sequence on Monday evening in south Florida, which has a resulted in a $6,260 carryover into the track’s Wednesday night card. Track officials have placed a $25,000 guarantee on the total pool.
The Pick 4 is a nightly wager covering Races 5 – 8, featuring a 50-cent minimum and only a 12 per cent takeout.
The final Monday night card of Pompano’s season will be offered this coming Monday (April 27). Live racing at the track will continue on Wednesday and Saturday evenings through closing day, June 27. First post each evening is 7:30 p.m.
