Stronach 5 Returns Friday With Races From Laurel And Gulfstream

Races from Laurel Park and Gulfstream Park West, including two on the turf, highlight Friday's popular Stronach 5.

The Stronach 5, with an industry-low 12-percent takeout, kicks off with Laurel's seventh race, a $42,000 allowance event at a mile. Trainer Steve Asmussen sends out Break Curfew, a 4-year-old Into Mischief filly who ships in from Belmont Park. Trainer Mike Trombetta will send out Savedbythebelle, trainer Shug McGaughtey Pilot Episode, Michael Matz Global Ambition, and Kelly Rubley One Last Trial.

After heading to the turf for the second leg and Gulfstream's seventh race, an optional claimer for fillies and mares going a mile, Laurel's eighth race will feature a $50,000 optional claimer at a mile on the main track. Golden Brown is the morning-line favorite. The 5-year-old comes from Monmouth Park where he finished second in the Dan Horn Handicap, fifth in the Grade 3 Salvator Mile, and won the Irish War Cry in July.

The fourth leg of the sequence is Laurel's ninth race, a $10,000 maiden claimer at 5 ½ furlong. The Stronach 5 remains on the turf at Gulfstream for the ninth race, a claiming event for 4-year-olds 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
