Raceway’s Monday evening (March 2nd) Pick 5 wager began with a
carryover of $4,148.77 and a
$15,000 guaranteed pool.
Those two fun factoids led to $33,154 of
fresh investing.
The sequential phrase that pays was…
2-Reigning Bills (Jason Bartlett, $4.90)
1-My Spirit Soars (Brent Holland, $23.20)
5-Canbec Kingkazimir (George Brennan,
$4.80)
6-Followyourdestiny (Bartlett, $7.20)
7-Ari Allstar (Brennan, $20.40)
…returning $1,813.25 for every correct
half-a-bucket ticket.
The Pick 5 is a 50-cent base wager (5
through 9).
Monday night also began the local stakes
season, with the first of three rounds in the M Life Rewards Ladies (nee
Petticoat) Pacing Series. The series was open to 3- and 4-year-old young
ladies who are/were non-winners of four races and/or $50,000 through last Dec.
1st.
The first of three, $20,000 groupings was
won by a pocket/cone-skimming Affluent Seelster (Joe Bongiorno, $69) in a
season-debuting/life-best 1:53.4.
