Crete, IL — Balmoral will offer an action packed card with two guaranteed pools this Sunday with a bonus.

There will be almost no rest for the players after the first race because the Pick-5 also has a carryover. The 50 cent wager has a one day carryover of $6,286. Balmoral and the USTA will offer an instant guarantee of $30,000 on the Sunday Pick-5.
