New Year’s Eve Card At Laurel Park Features Trio Of Mandatory Payout Wagers

Live racing returns to Laurel Park this Thursday for a New Year's Eve program that marks closing day of the 2020 fall meet and features mandatory payouts in the 20-cent Rainbow 6, 50-cent Late Pick 5 and $1 Super Hi-5 wagers.

There will be carryovers of $17,538.82 in the Rainbow 6, spanning Races 4-9, and $332.99 in the Super Hi-5 for Thursday's opener, a 5 ½-furlong claiming event for 3-year-olds and up. Post time for the first of nine races is 12:25 p.m.

The Rainbow 6 carryover jackpot is paid out when there is a single, unique tickets sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 60 percent of that day's pool goes back to bettors holding tickets with the most winners while 40 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool. On mandatory days, the entire pool is paid out to the bettors holding tickets with the most winners in the six-race sequence.

Thursday's Rainbow 6 kicks off with a seven-furlong starter optional claimer for 3-year-olds and up that drew a field of nine led by 5-2 program favorite Fast Cash, a $300,000 yearling of 2018 making his 10th career start and third since being claimed by Anthony Farrior, his fourth trainer since September.

Race 7 is an open, third-level optional claiming allowance for fillies and mares 3 and up sprinting seven furlongs featuring Naughty Thoughts, winner of Laurel's Wide Country Feb. 15; Coconut Cake, who had a three-race win streak snapped last out Dec. 3; Maryland Million Distaff runner-up Quiet Imagination; 2018 Maryland Juvenile Filly Championship winner Money Fromheaven and multiple stakes-placed Ankle Monitor.

Chuck and Maribeth Sandford's 3-year-old homebred filly Indy Takes Charge, unraced since Sept. 5 after crossing the wire second in three consecutive races, is favored at 2-1 on the morning line for her return in Race 8, a seven-furlong allowance for fillies and mares 3 and up.

Fair Grounds Replaces ‘Jackpot’ Pick 5 With Traditional Early, Late Pick 5 Wagers

When the Fair Grounds' 149th season of racing kicks off Thanksgiving Day at the New Orleans, La. track, a traditional early and late Pick Five will replace the Black Gold Five, a jackpot wager that had been in place for the past several years.

On a regular basis, the early Pick Five will encompass races 1-5, and the late Pick Five will be offered on the final five races of the card. The 50-cent minimum wager will pay 100% of the day's pool plus any carryover coming into the day to those who correctly select 5-of-5 winners. Should no one pick 5-of-5, 25% of the pool will be paid to those who select the most winners, with the remaining 75% of the pool carrying over to the following day's late Pick Five sequence.

In addition to the newly implemented early and late Pick Five, Fair Grounds will also offer an early Pick Four, which will now move to races 2-5, as well as two other Pick Fours later on the card. Rolling Pick Threes and daily doubles remain a staple of the wagering menu.

Fair Grounds will also make a key change to their horizontal wagering platform. Beginning this meet, any race that is taken off the turf after a sequence has started will revert to ALL on any live tickets. This rule only applies to turf races moved to the main track. Any scratch in a race that did not switch surfaces will result in the bettor getting a replacement of the post time favorite.

A complete list of wagering information, special wagers, and with key racing dates for the meet can be found at: https://www.fairgroundsracecourse.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/2020-2021-Thoroughbred-Racing-Season-Wagering-Info-FINAL-.pdf
