Washington, PA — Tuesday’s (Sept. 9) card at The Meadows Racetrack & Casino will feature two guaranteed pools: a $7,500-guaranteed pool for the Pick-5 and a $5,000-guaranteed pool for the Pick-4. Both are part of the United States Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program.

While the Pick-4 guarantee is a regular feature of Monday and Tuesday programs, the track added the “instant” Pick-5 guarantee when no one correctly picked Monday’s Pick-5, resulting in a carryover of $1,830.96.

Minimum wager for the Pick-4 (races four-seven) and 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.

Tuesday’s card also features a quartet of $40,000 Pennsylvania Stallion Series championships for 3-year-olds. First post Tuesday is 12:55 p.m.
