Anderson, IN — With a carryover in excess of $1,700, Hoosier Park Racing & Casino has announced a $10,000 guaranteed Pick-4 pool for the 14-race card slated for Thursday (July 23). In partnership with the Unites States Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program and the Indiana Standardbred Association, Hoosier Park will offer this signature wager for the stakes-filled card on Thursday that is set to begin at 5:15 p.m.

Two longshot winners in Wednesday’s Pick-4 sequence at Hoosier Park sparked a carryover of $1,727.85 and will be added to the pool for Thursday.

The Pick-4, which offers a 50 cent minimum wager, begins in the third race and will continue through the sixth race. Approximate post time for the first leg of the wager, the third race, is 5:55 p.m. (EDT). Free past performances for the Pick-4 races will be available on the USTA website along with expert selections and handicapping tools also available on Hoosier Park’s website.

“Hoosier Park would like to thank the Indiana Standardbred Association and the United States Trotting Association for again partnering on this $10,000 guaranteed Pick-4, which has become such a popular wager among horse racing fans,” Hoosier Park’s Vice President and General Manager of Racing Rick Moore noted. “With the guaranteed pool, we feel that it offers significant value to the horseplayers and we’re proud to offer it for a great Thursday night card.”

The 14-race card slated for Thursday (July 23) will be highlighted by two divisions of $75,000 Indiana Sires Stakes finals. The $75,000 Indiana Sires Stakes final for 2-year-old pacing colts and geldings has been slated as the second leg of the Pick-4 wager, race four on the program. Just a few races later, Homicide Hunter and driver John Delong will put their seven race win streak on the line in race nine, the $75,000 Indiana Sires Stakes final for 3-year-old trotting colts and geldings.

Live racing at Hoosier Park will follow a Tuesday through Saturday schedule, with a daily post time of 5:15 p.m. The 160-day, all harness racing meet will be conducted through Nov. 15.
