Pompano offers big buffet of wagering

Pompano Beach, FL, December 29, 2021 – Pompano Park will celebrate its final harness racing program of the year 2021 on Wednesday (Dec. 29) with a blockbuster 14 race program featuring its most lavish wagering buffet in its long history.

The festivities will begin with a Pick-5 covering races 1 through 5, along with the traditional Early Daily Double (Races 1 and 2). The Pick-6 takes place with the start of Race 3, followed by the $15,000 guaranteed pool on the Pick-4 (Races 6 through 9).

A second Pick-5 offering will begin on Race 8 with yet another Pick-4 with a $15,000 guaranteed pool begins on Race 11. Both guaranteed Pick-4 pools have the lowest takeout in the industry–12%.
A Late Pick-3 will begin on Race 12 with the late daily double conducted on the final two races.

Finally, with a hefty $63,639 carryover in the Super Hi-5 going in, there will be an “early New Year’s Eve” celebration with a mandatory payout on that offering in Race 14.

Director of Racing Gabe Prewitt said, ” With that carryover, our Super Hi-5 pool could balloon to several hundred thousand dollars, as we have seen in past similar situations and since we are not racing on the actual New Year’s Eve this year, we thought it prudent to give all of our “Send It In” brigade members some fireworks of a different variety on our wagering buffet. It’s a great way to end 2021 and begin the New Year.”

Post time for the “Send It In” early New Year’s celebration is set for 7:20 p.m.
