EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Last week’s sub-zero wind
chills forced the cancellation of racing at the Meadowlands, but with forecasts
calling for temperatures in the 50s, the Big M returns this Friday night
offering some opportunities to hit big on the 14-race card.
That’s when bettors will have a guaranteed pool of
$125,000 to shoot for in the track’s Pick 5 wager, which gets underway in Race
3.
The bet requires a player to correctly select the
winners of Races 3 through 7 and has a base wager of 50 cents. The conclusion
of the Pick 5 when the track last raced on the final Saturday of 2017 resulted
in a carryover of $28,786, which served as the catalyst for the Big M – in
partnership with United States Trotting Association Strategic Wagering – to
offer the huge pool promise.
Program pages for all Pick 5 races, as well as the $50,000
guaranteed Pick 4 (3 through 11) will be available on the wagering tab
at www.ustrotting.com,

Live racing at the Meadowlands takes place every
Friday and Saturday evening and has a first race post time of 6:35 p.m.
