EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – No winning
tickets were sold in two of the popular multi-leg wagers at The Meadowlands
Saturday night, setting up a pair of carryovers sure to titillate players when
racing resumes Friday at 7:15 p.m.
Despite 4-5 favorite Caviart Rockland
winning the final leg, no one held a winning ticket on the 20-cent Pick-5, which
led to a carryover of $52,665. Big M management announced that a guaranteed
pool of $150,000 will be offered for the wager with the low 15 percent takeout.
The odds of the winners for the first four legs were 8-1, 10-1, 5-1 and 30-1.
The pool total was $82,618, and those who had four out of five cashed in for
$103.72.
The 30-1 shot – Caviart Eva, who
upset 2-5 favorite Next Level Stuff in the fourth race – was the key to both
carryovers, as she began a 20-cent Pick-6 sequence that saw the following five winners
score at odds of 4-5, 2-5, 10-1, 12-1 and 4-5. The Pick-6 pool, which totaled
$21,226, will have a carryover of $13,524, with much more expected to be pumped
through the windows Friday. Those who went five for six got back $126.10.
