The Meadows Racetrack & Casino has increased — to $12,500 — the total-pool guarantee for its Monday (Oct. 1) 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 (Sept. 29) Pick 5 was uncovered, resulting in a carryover of $3,808.46.
In addition, Monday’s card includes a $7,500 total-pool guarantee for the Pick 4 as well as the Super Hi-5; each is a regular feature of each program at The Meadows.
The minimum wager for the Pick 4 (races 4-7), Pick 5 (races 9-13) and Super Hi-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.
