Watch and Wager LLC, operator of Cal Expo harness, has announced that the guarantee on the 16% takeout Pick 4 has been raised from $20,000 to $30,000 for the remainder of January.

Racing is now being conducted three nights a week with the trotters and pacers in action on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. 

The Pick 4 is one of four wagers offered on each program with that reduced 16% takeout rate. In addition to the 20-cent Pick 4; there is the 50-cent Pick 5; the 10-cent Jackpot 6 and the 10-cent Hi-Five on the nightcap.


To help players get a head start, announcer Gary Seibel and handicapper Dave Brower do an informative and entertaining simulcast seminar prior to the Pick 4 that has proven to be very popular.
