Mandatory Hi-5 payout at Mohawk

Milton, ON — Woodbine Entertainment management today announced a mandatory payout will be offered on the Standardbred Jackpot Hi-5 this Saturday (July 3) at Woodbine Mohawk Park.

The Jackpot Hi-5 carryover currently sits at $156,293 following Tuesday evening’s card. The Jackpot Hi-5 wager will continue to be offered on each card leading up to Saturday’s mandatory payout. Horseplayers have two more opportunities to hit the entire Jackpot on Thursday and Friday.

The Jackpot Hi-5 requires horseplayers to select the top five finishers in order. A horseplayer can only win the entire jackpot if they hold the only winning ticket for that evening’s wager. If there are multiple winning tickets, half the pool is paid out, while the other half is added to the carryover.

This Saturday’s mandatory payout will see the entire carryover, plus new money wagered, paid out to all those that correctly select the top five finishers in order. The Jackpot Hi-5 has a 20-cent minimum and a 15 percent takeout.

The Jackpot Hi-5 mandatory payout will take place on this Saturday’s final race (race 11). An overflow field of 12 pacers will compete in the C$24,000 event for non-winners of C$9,000 last five starts or C$17,000 last 10 starts. Woodbine Mohawk Park recently moved post position 10 from a trailing spot to back on the gate, which allows for a maximum field size of 12 (10 on the gate, two trailers).

Live racing continues every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at Woodbine Mohawk Park. Post time is 7 p.m.
