“We've had a very encouraging response to the 'Golden Hour Double' and believe our customers will respond well to this new low takeout wager,” said Santa Anita's Aidan Butler, Executive Director, CA Racing Operations, for The Stronach Group. “We've heard feedback from many of our players asking for this type of bet—one that provides a player friendly new wager with a one dollar minimum, capitalizing on the larger competitive fields at the end of the card.

“This is a fun new addition to our betting menu and will drive extra attention to both of our California tracks as the racing action across the country is winding down each day.”
