Effective
Friday night, March 2, 2012, the Late Pick 4 Gross Pool Guarantees on Fridays
and Saturdays at Cal Expo will be increased to $20,000.
These guaranteed pools have been increased yet again, for the second time in a week ($10,000 to $15,000), on the heels of the overwhelming success of the TwinSpires.com promotion this past Friday night (February 24), and the TVG coverage of Cal Expo races on Saturday night (February 25).
"Our players have spoken with their wagering dollars and we are answering by increasing the gross guarantees of these pools," said Director of Racing David Elliott. "We will make every effort to provide value in these races by offering competitive and full fields, and will continue to offer a reduced 15 percent takeout rate on all Pick 4’s."
The USTA Strategic Wagering committee will partner up with Cal Expo and the horsemen to guarantee the Saturday night pools.
