Live racing is scheduled for Friday night
with first post at 7:05 p.m. and the next qualifying session at The Raceway
will be held on Friday, February 15.
Beginning next Tuesday afternoon, February
12, wagering customers will notice a new wrinkle as a ninth starter will now be
added to the final race each day.
Eight-horse fields are the standard at The
Raceway, but approval has been granted to use an additional starter on the
final race in an effort to continue to grow handle.
“We think it will give both the late Pick-4
and the Super Hi-5 a boost,” said Racing and Gaming Manager Ian Fleming. “The
Super Hi-5 has been popular, especially when we’ve had a carryover situation.
Full fields are important and the extra horse will mean additional
combinations.”
The Super Hi-5 is a new wager that was
introduced last Fall. It involves correctly selecting the first five finishers
in the race in order. The Raceway offers two Pick-4s each day and guarantees
the pools at $5,000 on afternoon programs each Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
For the month of February, The Raceway is
offering Triple Points for those who wager on live racing with their Player
Reward Cards. Signing up is fast and easy and can be done on-track any time.
