Anderson, IN — With a carryover in excess of $4,000, Hoosier Park Racing & Casino has announced a $15,000 guaranteed Pick-4 pool for Wednesday (Aug. 3) along with a $20,000 guaranteed trifecta in race 10. In partnership with the United States Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program and the Indiana Standardbred Association, Hoosier Park will offer these signature wagers for the 14-race card on Wednesday that is set to begin at 5:45 p.m.

Two longshot winners in Tuesday’s Pick-4 sequence at Hoosier Park sparked a carryover of $4,042.62 and will kick-start the Pick-4 pool for Wednesday. The 14-race card slated for Wednesday will be highlighted by the $75,000 Indiana Sires Stakes finals for the 2-year-old trotting colts and fillies.

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 6:25 p.m. (EDT).

Free past performances for the Pick-4 will be available on the United States Trotting Association and Hoosier Park websites. Expert selections and handicapping tools are also available on Hoosier Park’s website and The United States Trotting Association’s website. The Pick-4 wager on Wednesday will offer a carryover if no one correctly selects four of four winners.

The $20,000 guaranteed trifecta, which offers a 50-cent minimum wager, will begin in the first race of the Pick-5 sequence each Wednesday night. On a 14-race card, the guaranteed trifecta will be offered in the tenth race of the program with an approximate post time of 8:45 p.m. No superfecta wagering will be available on the race featuring the $20,000 guaranteed trifecta.

The USTA Strategic Wagering Program, which began five years ago, is a cooperative program among the USTA and its member tracks that is designed to provide value to horseplayers by guaranteeing the size of designated betting pools.

Live racing at Hoosier Park will follow a Tuesday-Saturday schedule, with a daily post time of 5:45 p.m. The 160-day, all harness racing meet will be conducted through Nov. 12.
