Saturday's stakes-laden Wood Memorial Day card offers a number of intriguing options for bettors, including a middle Pick 5 featuring a mandatory payout.
The 11-race card begins at 12:50 p.m. Eastern with an overflow field of fillies and mares 4-years-old and up sprinting six furlongs over the outer turf to kick off the first of three Pick 5 offerings. The opening Pick 5 sequence, which offers a carryover provision, concludes in Race 5 with the Grade 3, $150,000 Distaff Handicap led by returning Grade 1-winner Search Results.
The middle Pick 5, which offers a mandatory payout, begins in Race 4 [2:29 p.m.] with a field of nine fillies and mares 3-years-old and up battling 1 1/16-miles in an outer turf allowance. The middle Pick 5 sequence is bolstered by the Grade 3 Distaff Handicap, the $100,000 Danger's Hour at one mile over the inner turf in Race 7, and ends in Race 8 with the featured Grade 2, $750,000 Wood Memorial presented by Resorts World Casino which is headlined by undefeated graded stakes winners Early Voting and Morello.
The Late Pick 5 sequence, which has a carryover provision, kicks off in Race 7 [4:11 p.m.] with the Danger's Hour. In addition to the Wood Memorial, the sequence includes the Grade 1 Carter Handicap presented by NYRA Bets in Race 9 at seven furlongs for older sprinters, featuring multiple graded stakes winner Speaker's Corner.
A competitive sequence concludes with the Grade 2, $250,000 Gazelle, a 100-40-20-10 Kentucky Oaks qualifier in Race 10, in which Venti Valentine and Classy Edition will look to make the grade; and the Grade 3, $200,000 Bay Shore at seven furlongs on the main track for sophomores in Race 11 which features a field of 10 topped by Wit and Dean's List for Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher.
