East Rutherford, NJ — With no eliminations required for the Hambletonian, the wagering format for Hambletonian Day becomes more enhanced since the field for the Hambletonian final will be known all week as opposed to last year when the field was not known until mid-card on Hambletonian Day.

Hambletonian Day will offer an unprecedented five guaranteed pools of $50,000 or more, including three Pick-4 wagers.

A $50,000 guaranteed 50 cent Pick-5 will kick off the program in the first race, followed by a $50,000 guaranteed 50 cent Pick-4 in race three.

From there, the guarantees ramp up to a 50 cent Pick-4 in race seven, guaranteed at $75,000. Next is a $75,000 guaranteed Pick-5 beginning in race nine that is anchored by the Hambletonian final itself.

Last, but certainly not least, is a $100,000 guaranteed 50 cent Pick-4 beginning with the Hambletonian Oaks which includes the Hambletonian final and covers the last four races on the program.

There will be win, place, show, exacta and trifecta wagering on all races. There will also be 10 cent superfectas offered on all races.

The wagering format in detail is as follows.
