Lexington, KY –– A parade of long shots on Thursday evening at The Red Mile made for boxcar payouts and in some cases no payouts, producing carryovers in the Pick-5, Pick-4, and Super Hi-Five for Saturday (Sept 12) night. Only one post time favorite was victorious on the 10-race Thursday program.

The 50-Cent Pick 5 covers races 2- 6, and will feature a carryover of $879.

Next up, will be a $2,453 carryover in the Pick-4. Track officials, along with the United States Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program, have placed a $7,500 guarantee on Saturday night’s total Pick-4 pool. The Pick-4 is a nightly wager covering races 7-10, featuring a $1 minimum.

Last, but certainly not least, will be a large $3,060 carryover into the Super Hi-Five in the eleventh race, a ten-horse shootout to close out the card. Track officials, along with the United States Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program, have placed a $10,000 guarantee on the total Super Hi-Five pool. The Super Hi-Five is a nightly wager on the last race, featuring a 20-cent minimum where fans must select the top five finishers in order.

The summer-fall meet at The Red Mile continues for one more week, with live racing Sunday, Thursday, and concluding on Saturday, September 19. First post each evening is 7 p.m. The two week Grand Circuit meet begins on Wednesday, September 30.
