RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The action on the Meadowlands’ signature Pick-4 wager
remains strong, as during March the total pool has averaged $84,593 through the
first five programs of the month.
The
bet, which has a 50-cent base and low 15 percent takeout, can reward favorites
players and those who like value alike. On March 9, no public choices won
during the sequence, leading to a payoff of $4,131, while on March 17, three
chalks and a 3-1 chance combined to create a winning payout of $76.65.
Free
program pages for the Pick-4 (Races 8 through 11), courtesy of Track Master,
are available on the Meadowlands’ website (www.playmeadowlands.com) and on the
handicapping section at www.ustrotting.com.
The
Pick-5 (Races 3 through 7) has seen total action of at least $47,475 on four
occasions during the month, and on March 9, even though favorites won the final
three legs of the bet, the return was a hefty $4,429.
CRAZY CARRYOVER: The carryover for the
Late 20-Cent Jackpot Super High Five, which will be offered on Race 11 Friday,
is now at an industry-high $148,306. For one to rake the pot, the bet requires
