The Meadows Racetrack & Casino has tripled — to $15,000 — the total-pool guarantee for its Friday, August 19 Pick 4 wager.
The guarantee is part of the United States Trotting Association's Strategic Wagering Initiative.
While $5,000 Pick 4 guarantees are offered each card, The Meadows sweetened the pot when Wednesday’s Pick 4 was uncovered, which resulted in a carryover of $3,260.17.
The minimum wager for the Pick 4 (Races 4-7) 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.
Friday’s card also features two stakes for three-year-old filly trotters — a $159,433 Pennsylvania Sires Stake and a $40,000 Pennsylvania Stallion Series event — as well as Family Fun Night capped by fireworks. The program will get underway with a special first-race post time of 5 p.m.
