The Meadows Racetrack & Casino has doubled — to $10,000 — the total-pool guarantee for its Saturday (Sept. 15) 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 Wednesday’s Pick 5 was uncovered, resulting in a carryover of $2,627.86.
In addition, Saturday’s card includes a $7,500 total-pool guarantee for the Pick 4, as well as a jackpot of $1,864 in the Super Hi-5.
The 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 Saturday is 1:05 p.m.
