Washington, PA — On Saturday (March 24), The Meadows Racetrack & Casino will offer a $15,000 total-pool guarantee 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 two-day carryover of $4,952.13.

Minimum wager for the Pick-5 (races seven-11) 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 Saturday’s program is 1:05 p.m.
