The Assiniboia Downs racing season is off to a roaring start over the first few days of the meet. Fans set a record opening day handle for the track and have even surpassed that wagering total since.
As a result of the outstanding engagement of horseplayers, the Downs is announcing that it is increasing its Pick 4 pool guarantee to $40,000 beginning Monday, June 20.
“The season is off to a great start this year,” proclaimed Darren Dunn CEO. “Fans have been really responding to our reduced takeouts and the new Player Portal and we couldn’t be more thrilled. We wanted to be aggressive in creating value for horseplayers this year and they appear to be responding extremely well, so we thought we would go even further with this increased guarantee.”
The track dropped takeouts across the board, beginning with the Win pool which has been reduced by a whopping 4% to a near industry low 14.95%. The takeouts on the Trifecta, Superfecta, Jackpot Hi-5 and Pick 3 have been reduced by 2%. The Exacta, Double, Quinella and ASD Jackpot Pick 5 have been reduced by 1%.
The Pick 4 will now have a $40,000 pool guarantee and will continue with its low 15.95% takeout.
Assiniboia Downs racing continues Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights with first post at 7:30 pm (Central Time). The full schedule can be found at www.ASDowns.com.
