Indiana Grand just made the Wednesday, July 8 program for Indiana Derby Day a little more interesting. A $100,000-guaranteed pool will be offered on the track's popular Pick 5 wager, beginning in Race 8.
The Pick 5 wager at Indiana Grand has one of the lowest takeouts in the country at 11.99 percent. By offering a guaranteed pool, horseplayers will enjoy the extra challenge in handicapping for the wager beginning with Race 8 and completed on Race 12.
Of the five races involved in the Pick 5, all are stakes races, including the Grade 3 $200,000 Indiana Oaks (Race 10) and the Grade 3 $300,000 Indiana Derby (Race 11). The only race that is not a stakes race on the special card is the final leg of the Pick 5.
Live racing continues through Wednesday, Nov. 18 with action held Monday through Thursday beginning at 2:20 p.m. Three more Saturday programs are slated for all-Quarter Horse days Aug. 8, Oct. 23 and Oct. 24.
