Columbus, OH — The return of racing at Meadowlands Racetrack means the return of the guaranteed Pick-4 in conjunction with the U.S. Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering program.
The Meadowlands will offer guaranteed $50,000 Pick-4 pools on Thursdays and Fridays and guaranteed $75,000 Pick-4 pools on Saturdays. The Pick-4 is on races six through nine, with an estimated post time of 8:40 p.m. (EST) for the first leg of the wager.
Free program pages for Friday’s Meadowlands Pick-4, courtesy of TrackMaster, can be found here. The Pick-4 has a low 15 percent takeout and last year averaged more than $80,000 per card, with an average payoff of $2,000 for a $1 ticket.
“We’re excited to begin a new chapter of racing at the Meadowlands and also to be part of the Strategic Wagering initiative again in 2012,” said Alex Dadoyan, the Meadowlands’ director of racing operations. “The Pick-4 at the Meadowlands has always been a popular bet and partnering with the Strategic Wagering program enabled us to reach even more players.”
Program pages for all Strategic Wagering opportunities are available through the USTA’s handicapping page.
