Gulfstream releases wagering menu:
Gulfstream Park has announced its wagering menu for the 2011 Thoroughbred meet that begins January 5. Among the different wagers offered will be the following:
A 50 cent Pick-5 with a record low 15 percent takeout
Low takeout rates on Bet-3 and 50 cent Pick-4 wagers of only 20 percent
An early and late 50 cent Pick-4
A 10 cent Pick-6
Rolling Daily Doubles, Superfecta's and Bet-3's
Win, place, show, Daily Double, exacta and trifecta wagers will be a $1 minimum wager.
We're optimistic and excited about the new wagers we're introducing and the fact Gulfstream will be offering many of the lowest takeouts in the country," said Steve Calabro, president and general manager of Gulfstream Park. "We think the Pick-5, Pick-4's and 10 cent Pick-6 creates more opportunities for our fans.
This is just part of our commitment to our customers. Those attending Gulfstream this year will also notice nearly a 50 percent increase in our self-service betting terminals."
Gulfstream will start each day with a 12:55 p.m. (ET), first race post time. The early Pick-4 will begin with the second race while the late Pick-4 will be on the last four races. The Pick-5 will be on the day's last five races and the Pick-6 on the day's last six. The Pick-5, Pick-4 and Pick-6 wagers will be accepted only at self-service terminals.
The 10 cent Pick-6 will be awarded to one unique ticket. On days there are multiple winners, 60 percent of the pool will be shared equally while 40 percent goes back into the jackpot. Click here to see the wagering and takeouts.
Gulfstream will celebrate the 60th anniversary of the $1 million Florida Derby (G1) on April 3, and features more than 30 graded races and $30 million in overall purses at its upcoming meet.
