Washington, PA — On Wednesday (Sept. 24), The Meadows Racetrack & Casino will offer a $5,000 guaranteed pool for its Pick-5 wager as part of the United States Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program.

The Meadows added the “instant” guarantee after Tuesday’s Pick-5 was uncovered, resulting in a carryover of $1,239.74.

Minimum wager for the Pick-5 (races 12-16) is 50 cents. Since Pennsylvania law requires a minimum per-race wager of $2, a player wagering at the 50-cent level must bet at least four tickets.

First post for Wednesday’s program, which features a $117,200 Keystone Classic for 2-year-old colt and gelding trotters, is 12:55 p.m.
