The Jackpot Super High 5 at the Meadowlands Racetrack continues to prove elusive, as it went unclaimed again last weekend. That means a carryover of $133,604 awaits horseplayers when live racing resumes in East Rutherford, NJ on Thursday night (February 26).
The nine-race card will begin at 7:15 p.m. The final race of the night featuring the six-figure carryover has a scheduled post time of 10:08 p.m.
Even though the jackpot has gone unclaimed since December 6, the consolation payoff continues to return generous amounts. Last Thursday, the 20-cent wager returned more than $1,900.
Thanks to an industry-low eight per cent takeout and a provision that pays 75 per cent of the net pool to the consolation each night, handicappers have even more incentive to take a shot at the wager. Race 5 also features a Jackpot Super High 5 carryover of $28,624.
The $25,000 Dash For the ‘G’ Notes final for pacing mares headlines Thursday’s card. Bring Them Home is the 5-2 morning line favourite with driver Yannick Gingras for trainer Mark Capone.
