Beginning Thursday, Sam Houston Race Park will offer 10-cent superfecta
wagers on all races with a minimum of seven betting interests. The track
recently received permission from the Texas Racing Commission to add the new
wager to its current format. Robert L. Bork, president and general manager of
Sam Houston, made the recommendation in an effort to encourage exotic wagering.
“We are still a relatively new racetrack and feel that by offering this
highly affordable wager, we will create excitement and attract some new fans,”
Bork said. “Playing a four-horse superfecta box will cost just $2.40 and the
payouts can be hundreds of dollars.”
Sam Houston’s meet continues through April 10.
