Cal Expo has announced that
the guaranteed gross pool for the 20-cent Pick 4 on Saturdays has now been
raised to $50,000, with the guaranteed pool for Friday’s Pick 4 remaining at
$30,000.
The Pick 4 is one of two
wagers each night at Cal Expo with a reduced 16 percent takeout rate, the other
being the 50-cent Pick 5, which is offered on the first five races of each
program.
"We started our guarantee at $25,000, went to $30,000. then $40,000, now $50,000, “ said Cal Expo General Manager Chris Schick.
“The Saturday Pick 4 guarantee equals that of The Meadowlands and Woodbine. We have now joined an exclusive club. The low 20-cent minimum, coupled with the low 16 percent takeout, have certainly proved a powerful combination".
