Frozen since the completion of last Saturday's program, the carryover for the Jackpot Hi-5 mandatory payout is $250,903.30. Jackpot Hi-5 wagering will be offered on Race 11 and features many of Mohawk Park's notable weekly warrior lining up in an overflow field of 11. The purse for the Non-Winners of $11,000 last five starts or $22,000 last 10 starts pacing contest has been bumped to $30,000.
