Packed program at Red Mile August 6

Lexington, KY…August 3, 2023…Lexington’s famed Red Mile continues its Summer Championship Stakes Season on Sunday, August 6 with a monumental 16 race harness racing program—10 of which are Stakes events for two-year-olds and three-year-olds.

The program also features a “better for the bettor” scenario for the “Send It In Army” with a pair of carryovers, guaranteed pools and a rich buffet of exotic offerings featuring the lowest takeouts in the pari-mutuel industry.

The 1:00 p.m. kickoff features a 20 cent Pick-6 carryover of $5,026 with a 15% takeout and a guaranteed pool of $20,000 which the Red Mile’s Gabe Prewitt describes as “a well deserved combination for our ‘Army’ members.”

The second carryover is in the Super Hi-5 fifth race which combines a $3,692 boost going in to go along with a low 15% takeout.

There are a trio of Pick-4 events, beginning in races six, 10 and 13, respectively, all featuring an industry low12% takeout. The Pick-4 beginning with race six has a $10,000 guaranteed pool.

The program will also feature “bookend” daily doubles, exacta and trifecta wagering and four Pick-3 offerings.

On the equine side of the ledger, a pair of $80,000 Kentucky Sire Stakes Championship events are on the card featuring a well matched quartet of two-year-old pacers in the 13th race and a
a quintet of talented sophomore pacers in race 15.

Courtesy of Roberts Communications, the track will offer live streaming of the races, as well as race replays on redmileracing.com. Free program pages are also available.

The Red Mile Championship Meet goes through October 8.
