Columbus, OH — Free program pages are available for Cal Expo’s Thursday night (Oct. 27) guaranteed $10,000 Pick-4 pool as part of the U.S. Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering initiative. The pages, courtesy of TrackMaster, can be found here.

The Thursday Pick-4 at Cal Expo is races seven through 10, with first leg post time of 7:40 p.m. (PDT). The Pick-4 has a low 15 percent takeout. The races will be available on TVG.

“Cal Expo, in partnership with the California Harness Horsemen’s Association, has secured TVG coverage of the Cal Expo guaranteed Thursday Pick-4 through the end of the year,” USTA Strategic Wagering Chairman Chris Schick said. “This past spring, the combination of TVG coverage and guaranteed Pick-4 pool produced strong Thursday handle increases. The committee thinks this wager has big upside potential.”
