Washington, PA — Beginning June 1, The Meadows Racetrack & Casino, in association with the United States Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program, will offer a $5,000 total-pool guarantee for the Pick-4 wager on each live card.

Previously, the track guaranteed a $5,000 Pick-4 pool each Monday and Tuesday, but it expanded the program due to enthusiastic fan response.

“Our patrons have told us how much they like the opportunity to share in the potentially rich returns that pool guarantees provide,” said Kevin Decker, director of racing for The Meadows. “Now, they know we’ll be guaranteeing at least one pool each program. We would like to express our appreciation to the USTA for their partnership on this initiative.”

The Pick-4 spans races four-seven and offers a minimum wager of 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.
