East Rutherford, NJ — Last week’s sub-zero wind chills forced the cancellation of racing at the Meadowlands, but with forecasts calling for temperatures in the 50s, the Big M returns this Friday night (Jan. 12), offering some opportunities to hit big on the 14-race card.

That’s when bettors will have a guaranteed pool of $125,000 to shoot for in the track’s Pick-5 wager, which gets underway in race three.

The bet requires a player to correctly select the winners of races three through seven and has a base wager of 50 cents. The conclusion of the Pick-5 when the track last raced on the final Saturday of 2017 resulted in a carryover of $28,786, which served as the catalyst for the Big M — in partnership with United States Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program — to offer the huge pool promise.

Program pages for all Pick-5 races, as well as the $50,000 guaranteed Pick-4 (eight through 11) will be available on the wagering tab at www.ustrotting.com, courtesy of TrackMaster.

Live racing at the Meadowlands takes place every Friday and Saturday evening and has a first race post time of 6:35 p.m.
