Washington, PA — The Meadows Racetrack & Casino has increased — to $40,000 — the total-pool guarantee for its Tuesday (July 10) Pick-5 wager (races nine-13) as part of the United States Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program.
While $5,000 Pick-5 guarantees are offered each card, The Meadows sweetened the pot when neither Saturday’s nor Monday’s Pick-5 was covered, resulting in a two-day carryover of $12,708.18.
In addition, Tuesday’s program features a $7,500 total-pool guarantee for the Pick-4 (races four-seven), a $2,333.31 carryover in the day’s first Superfecta (currently race two) and a $1,002.80 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.
