$58,000 “Thank You” pool for Pompano Pick-5

Pompano Beach, FL, April 11, 2022 – Pompano Park Director of Racing Gabe Prewitt has been thinking of ways to thank its “Send It In Army” faithful for being part of the track’s 58 year harness racing history which ends Easter Sunday.

Oddly, Machiatto, Everyone’s Talkin and King Corona helped Prewitt come up with an explosive idea.

Those three equine athletes won the first three legs of the Sunday Pick-5 pool at odds of 9 to 1, 15 to 1 and 38 to 1, respectively, and, though heavy favorites won the final two legs of that exotic offering, no punter had a winning ticket on the 2-2-2-1-1 combo. Hardt at Work ($3.60) capped it off creating a carryover of $8,182.70 and

Prewitt was “hard at work” with a “better for the bettor” bonanza featuring a $58,000 guaranteed pool–$1,000 for each year of Pompano Park’s luxurious history–for the Monday Pick-5.

“I thought it would be more than appropriate to reward our “Army” with the biggest Pick-5 guaranteed pool in our history and, along with a couple of other carryover pools, it should be a memorable night for our final Monday ever.”

The other carryover pools are in the Pick-6–$4,938–and the Super Gi-5 finale–$2,885.

The Pick-5 begins in the first race and covers races one through five while the Pick-6 starts in race three. The Super Hi-5 finale will take place on the final race of the program.

Post time for the Monday card is set for 7:20 p.m.
