Batavia Guarantees Pick 4 Wednesdays

Published: August 5, 2013 02:24 pm EDT

The guaranteed $3,000 Pick 4 wager returns to Batavia Downs this Wednesday night (Aug. 7) and will continue each Wednesday in August.

The track has teamed up with the United States Trotting Association and the Western New York Harness Horsemen's Association to guarantee the $3,000 Pick 4 pool.

The Pick 4, rapidly becoming a popular bet, begins in the third race on the card. Program pages for that sequence will be available free through the USTA website. Bettors must select the winners of the third, fourth, fifth and sixth races and may bet in 50-cent increments.

"We are pleased to be back in the USTA's Strategic Wagering Program," said Batavia Downs General Manager of Live Racing Todd Haight. "I'd like to thank USTA director Chris Schick for helping us get back in the program."

With the card being shown on Time-Warner Cable Channel 98 in Rochester and surrounding areas, along with various simulcast locations, it's hoped that the pool will easily exceed the minimum $3,000 mark.

Any on-track patrons that wager a minimum of $10 (at the same time) on the Pick 4 will receive $10 back in gaming free play.

The 11-race card at Batavia Downs gets underway at 6:30 p.m. (EDT) Wednesday.
