Last updated: 12/17/10 11:15 AM


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

    overall purses at its upcoming meet.
