Melrose Park, IL — Maywood Park will offer a guaranteed Pick-6 pool of $7,500 this Thursday (March 27).
With the new 20 cent minimum and a host of longshots parading to the winner’s circle the wager has yet to be hit through the first three nights of Maywood Park’s 2014 racing season. Therefore, Maywood Park management and the USTA Strategic Wagering Program have joined forces to offer the guaranteed pool on Thursday night. The Pick-6 entails races one through six.
The popular Pick-4 wager, which also offers a $7,500 guaranteed pool on Thursdays, will be offered on races seven through 10 as well. The Pick-4 has a low 15 percent takeout and is a one dollar minimum.
Handicappers across North America can get a head start on their competition with free 12 line program pages for the guaranteed pools courtesy of the USTA Strategic Wagering Program and TrackMaster on the handicapping section at www.ustrotting.com.
Post time for the opener on Thursday night at Maywood Park is 7:10 p.m (CDT).
