Batavia, NY — On Wednesday night (Nov. 9), the Batavia Downs early Pick-5 wager becomes part of the USTA’s Strategic Wagering Program and will have a guaranteed pool of $3,500.

The early Pick-5, which kicks off in race one, has an actual carryover of $1,380 and post time for that race is 6:15 p.m.

The Pick-5 is a 50-cent base wager that includes races one through five during every racing program. There is no consolation payoff, meaning if no one selects all five winners, the entire pool moves to the late Pick-5 that begins in the seventh race.
