The Meadows Racetrack & Casino has doubled — to $10,000 — the total-pool guarantee for its Saturday, August 27 Pick 4 wager.
The move 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, resulting in a carryover of $2,848.74.
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.
Saturday’s card also features the $140,000 Nadia Lobell for three-year-old filly pacers and the Tyler B, a $186,672 PA Sires Stake for two-year-old colt and gelding pacers. The card begins at the special post time of 11:25 a.m. to dovetail with the running of the Travers at Saratoga later Saturday.
