By Tim Bojarski, for Batavia Downs
When live racing resumes at Batavia Downs on Saturday (Dec. 4) the track will once again offer two carryovers -- including the largest in track history -- and a free pick six contest. Three great opportunities to help make your Holidays merry and bright.
First in race six, there is a carryover of $604 in the Jackpot Pick-6 that runs through race 11. But then in race 11 you will find the Jackpot Super Hi-5 pentafecta that currently has the largest carryover in the history of Batavia Downs --- $25,699. This carryover has been building for over three months and a single unique winning ticket on the right combination will take down the entire pool. With the brisk betting this wager has been getting since the pool has grown, the Super Hi-5 could see a total pool approaching $30,000 by post time for the 11th race on Saturday. Both the Jackpot Pick-6 and the Jackpot Super Hi-5 pentafecta are 20-cent base wagers.
And those attending Batavia Downs in person on Saturday can also play the free Pick-6 contest with a prize that is now worth $2,000. This contest starts in race four and runs through race nine. Simply pick up an entry blank at Players Club starting at 4:30, make your selections and deposit it back before the start of the fourth race. There is only one entry per person and you must pick all six winners to win the pool.
There are only three nights of live racing left in the 2021 season at Batavia Downs with Saturday (Dec. 11) being closing night and there will be a mandatory payout for any carryover pools that might still be in play for the Pick-5, Jackpot Pick-6 and Jackpot Super Hi-5 that evening.
Free full card past performance program pages for every live racing night at Batavia can always be downloaded at bataviadownsgaming.com under the live racing tab. And if you can’t attend live, you can still watch all the racing action via the Batavia Downs YouTube channel.
Post time for the first race Saturday is slated for 5 p.m.
