Horse racing enthusiasts are set for an exciting betting challenge this Thursday, with a significant $91,584 carryover in the late Pick 5. This lucrative prize stems from Wednesday's event, where no bettor managed to select all five winners in the early sequence. With competitive fields across five races starting at 7:25 p.m. EDT, fans of thoroughbred competition have a golden chance to boost their bankrolls during the Jeff Ruby Steaks day festivities.
The late Pick 5 series kicks off with two $5,000 claiming events in races 4 and 5. These contests, each featuring nine horses competing over a mile distance, are reserved for non-winners of two races. Moving forward, race 6 presents a $7,500 conditioned claiming event designed for fillies and mares who haven't won three races. This segment showcases eight participants, adding intrigue to the betting mix.
Race 7 marks the evening's highlight, bringing together eight fillies and mares in a conditioned allowance showdown. As the series progresses, it culminates in race 8, which features an impressive field of 11 fillies and mares battling in a $15,000 claiming contest for those yet to win two races. The structured lineup promises thrilling matchups and intense competition throughout the evening.
This Thursday’s eight-race card begins promptly at 5:55 p.m., offering a rich tapestry of equine talent and strategic wagering opportunities.
