Washington, PA — The Meadows Racetrack & Casino has increased — to $12,500 — the total-pool guarantee for its Saturday (June 16) Pick-4 wager as part of the United States Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program.
While $7,500 Pick-4 guarantees are offered each card, The Meadows upped the ante when Wednesday’s Pick-4 was uncovered, resulting in a carryover of $4,382.16.
In addition, Saturday’s program features a $5,000 total-pool guarantee for the Pick-5 (races nine-13), a $2,404.55 carryover in the day’s first superfecta (currently race two) and a $2,517.70 jackpot in the Super High 5 (race 13).
Minimum wager for the Pick-4, Pick-5, superfecta and Super High 5 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.
