Washington, PA — On Tuesday (Jan. 19), the live card at The Meadows Racetrack & Casino will feature two total pool guarantees — a $5,000 guarantee for the Pick-5 and a $5,000 guarantee for the Pick-4. Both are offered as part of the United States Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program.

While The Meadows offers a $5,000 Pick-4 guarantee each card, the track added the “instant” Pick-5 guarantee after Monday’s Pick-5 was uncovered, resulting in a two-day carryover of $1,648.84.

Minimum wager for the Pick 4 (races four-seven) and Pick-5 (races 11-15) 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 12:55 p.m.
