The large payouts that have become a trend at the
Meadowlands this winter continued as the Early Pick 4 returned $1,747.10 and the
Late Pick 4 returned $8,274. Combined, the two pools carried over
$129,000 in handle.
On the wagering front, it was another jump in total handle
for the Meadowlands. Despite the bitter cold and snow, the total all-sources
handle of $2,509,774 was a 22% increase from the $2,051,828 wagered on the same
Friday in 2012. The Meadowlands has shown an increase in total handle
every night of the 2013 racing season. The East Rutherford oval will take
that momentum into a power-packed Saturday card featuring Golden Receiver in
the $103,000 Presidential Final. The supporting stakes features could not
have come up any better, with talent and depth from top to bottom in the Super
Bowl and Clyde Hirt Finals.
There is literally something for everyone on Saturday at the
Meadowlands. The night begins with the $15,000 Guaranteed Pick 5, with an
average pool of over $48,000 and an average payout of over $10,000 in
2013. Next is the $25,000 Guaranteed Early Pick 4 with an average pool of
over $45,000 this year. That Pick 4 sequence features The Super Bowl and
Clyde Hirt Finals as races 5 and 6. Following that is the $75,000
Guaranteed Late Pick 4, a pool in which the average payout in 2013 has been
over $5,500. That all leads up to the featured 11th race on a
blockbuster 13 race program, The Final of The $103,000 Presidential.
Post Time for all the exciting action is 7:15 P.M.
