Officials with the Meadows have announced that the track has doubled — to $10,000 — the total-pool guarantee for its Monday (June 4) Pick 5 wager as part of the United States Trotting Association's strategic wagering initiative.
While $5,000 Pick 5 guarantees are offered each card, the Meadows sweetened the pot when Saturday’s Pick 5 was uncovered, which resulted in a carryover of $3,249.48.
In addition, Monday’s card includes a $7,500 total-pool guarantee for the Pick 4 as well as the final-race Super High 5 wager; each is a regular feature of each program at the Meadows.
Minimum wager for the Pick 4 (Races 4-7), Pick 5 (Races 9-13) and Super High 5 (Race 13) is 50 cents. Since Pennsylvania law requires a minimum per-race wager of $2, a player wagering at the 50-cent level must bet at least four tickets.
First post Monday is 1:05 p.m.
