With the best horses the sport of harness racing has to offer, The Meadowlands
Racetrack is pleased to announce its wagering format for Hambletonian
Day.
The highlight of the card will be
the $100,000 Guaranteed Hambletonian Pick 4, beginning in Race 12, The
Hambletonian and running through Race 15. The wager, which will
undoubtedly be the best pick four pool that harness racing has to offer in 2013
will consist of The Hambletonian Final, The New Jersey Classic, The U.S. Pacing
Championship and The Auld Lang Syne Free For All Pace.
Hambletonian Day guaranteed pools
are as follows:
Race 1: $20,000 Guaranteed $.50
Cent Pick 5 (Races 1-5)
Race 3: $30,000 Guaranteed $1 Pick
4 (Races 3-6)
Race 7: $50,000 Guaranteed $.50
Cent Pick 5 (Races 7-11)
Race 12: $100,000 Guaranteed $1
Pick 4 (Races 12-15)
“This day provides the best racing
and the best value for harness racing fans bar-none,” said Director of Racing Operations
Darin Zoccali. “Obviously the $100,000 Hambletonian Pick 4, given the
races in the sequence will prove to be the most popular pick four pool in
harness racing this year.
In addition, TVG and 4NJBETS.com will be
offering a 20-percent bonus on the wager for those betting the Hambletonian
Pick 4 on either wagering platform. We are equally as excited about the
$50,000 Guaranteed Pick 5 that we will offer in Race 7.” That wager will
encompass all three Hambletonian eliminations, which are all wide-open, the
John Cashman Memorial and The Hambletonian Oaks. Literally every race on
the card is included in a guaranteed pool. We are so pleased to offer the
best card in harness racing this year.
“We worked very hard on putting
together a racing program and a wagering format that our customers would be
pleased with,” said General Manager/C.E.O. Jason Settlemoir. “This year
provided new challenges as we return to heat-racing in The Hambletonian.
But we are confident that the wagering format we have put together, supported
by the best racing program that the sport of harness racing will see this year,
will be a huge success.”
In addition there will be dime
superfectas offered in every race on the program. Post time for the first
race is 11:50 A.M. with post time for The Hambletonian Final, which kicks off
the $100,000 Pick 4, at 4:41 P.M.
