WASHINGTON, PA, Aug. 18, 2016 — The Meadows Racetrack & Casino has tripled — to $15,000 — the total-pool guarantee for its Friday, Aug. 19 Pick 4 harness racing wager as part of the United States Trotting Association's Strategic Wagering Initiative.
While $5,000 Pick 4 guarantees are offered each card, The Meadows sweetened the pot when Wednesday's Pick 4 was uncovered, resulting in a carryover of $3,260.17.
Minimum wager for the Pick 4 (races 4-7) 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.
Friday's card also features two stakes for 3-year-old filly trotters — a $159,433 Pennsylvania Sires Stake and a $40,000 Pennsylvania Stallion Series event — as well as Family Fun Night capped by fireworks. The program gets underway at the special post time of 5 PM.
