Crete, IL — Balmoral Park fans throughout the country will get the chance for another big payday on Saturday night thanks in part to a $6,298 Pick 5 carryover pool.

Mutuel Manager Bill Mudro expects an estimated pool of more than $30,000 for the popular 50 cent wager. As always the Balmoral Park Pick 5 covers races three through seven. Post time for Saturday is set for 7:20 p.m. (CST) and post time for race three is scheduled for approximately 8:00 p.m.

Balmoral Park also races on Sunday night with a 12-race card starting at 6:30 p.m.

Thanks in part to a $76,596 Pick 4 pool which was fueled by a carryover last Sunday, Balmoral Park established a new record handle for its Sunday program as fans throughout the Balmoral Park network poured $1,724,885 through the betting windows.
