Washington, PA — The Meadows Racetrack & Casino has increased — to $12,500 — the total-pool guarantee for its Wednesday (July 25) 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 Tuesday’s Pick-5 was uncovered, resulting in a carryover of $3,674.68.

In addition, Tuesday’s card includes a $7,500 total-pool guarantee for the Pick-4 and a $3,560.80 jackpot in the Super High 5, both regular features of each program at The Meadows.

Minimum wager for the Pick-4 (races four-seven), Pick-5 (races nine-13) 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.

First post for Wednesday’s program is 1:05 p.m.
