Washington, PA — The Meadows Racetrack & Casino has increased — to $12,500 — the total-pool guarantee for its Tuesday (May 22) Pick-5 wager as part of the United States Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program.
While $5,000 Pick-5 guarantees are offered with each card, The Meadows sweetened the pot when Monday’s Pick-5 was uncovered, resulting in a carryover of $3,763.43.
In addition, Tuesday’s card includes a $7,500 total-pool guarantee for the Pick-4, also a regular feature of each program at The Meadows.
Minimum wager for the Pick-4 (races four-seven) and Pick-5 (races nine-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.
First post for Tuesday’s program is 1:05 p.m.
