Columbus, OH — Meadowlands Racetrack’s existing guaranteed Pick-4 bets will be added to the U.S. Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering program beginning this week.

The Meadowlands offers $50,000 guaranteed Pick-4 wagers every Thursday and Friday and a $75,000 guaranteed Pick-4 each Saturday. The Pick-4 is offered on races 6 through 9 on each card. First race post time is 7 p.m., with the first leg of the Pick-4 slated for approximately 8:40 p.m. (EDT).

“We’re excited to be part of the Strategic Wagering initiative,” said Alex Dadoyan, the Meadowlands’ assistant vice president of racing development and distribution. “The Pick-4 at the Meadowlands has always been a popular bet and we’ll be able to reach even more players through this partnership.”
