Washington, PA — On Monday (Dec. 22), The Meadows Racetrack & Casino will offer a $7,500 guaranteed total pool for its Pick-5 wager as part of the United States Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program.

The Meadows added the “instant” guarantee after Friday’s Pick-5 was uncovered, resulting in a carryover of $2,119.32.

In addition, The Meadows will offer a $5,000 guaranteed total pool for the Pick-4, a regular feature of the track’s Monday and Tuesday cards.

Minimum wager for the Pick-4 (races four-seven) and Pick-5 (races 12-16) 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.
