EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – This past Saturday night, one lucky player
cashed the jackpot Super Hi-Five in the last race at The Meadowlands for
over $173,000. The wager was placed through TVG by a bettor in
Virginia. It was the second time this meet that a person took home over
six figures on the Jackpot Super Hi-Five Wager.
Given that there are only ten racing dates remaining in the 2015
Championship Meet, rather than begin a new jackpot pool with only one
month to build that pool, The Meadowlands has made some changes to its
wagering format.
The fifth race will continue to offer a Super Hi-Five each night, but
there will be no jackpot carryover pool. The pool will pay out each and
every night and it will carry an industry-low eight-percent (8%)
takeout rate. It will be offered at the $.20 cent minimum.
The Meadowlands races Friday and Saturday through the Hambletonian in early August. 8% takeout on this bet is the lowest takeout offered on any bet, in North America, Thoroughbred or Standardbred.
