Washington, PA — The Meadows Racetrack & Casino has doubled — to $15,000 — the total-pool guarantee for its Monday (April 16) Pick-4 wager as part of the United States Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Initiative.

While $7,500 Pick-4 guarantees are offered each card, The Meadows upped the ante when Saturday’s Pick-4 was uncovered, resulting in a carryover of $4,666.48.

In addition, Monday’s card includes a $5,000 total-pool guarantee for the Pick-5 — also a regular feature of each program at The Meadows

Minimum wager for the Pick-4 (races 4-7) and Pick-5 (races 9-13) 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.
