A series of longshots in the Pick 5 sequence at Indiana Grand Tuesday, April 20 will send a $44,093.42 carryover into the Wednesday, April 21 racing program at Indiana Grand. The wager will resume in Wednesday’s fifth race with an estimated post time of 4:30 p.m. EST.
The Pick 5 started in the afternoon’s fifth race in mild temperatures with a win by Chakra and Malcolm Franklin paying $13.40 to win. The kickoff to the Pick 5 was the lowest paying leg of the day. The wager ended in the ninth race with Big If True and Eddie Perez paying $39.20 to win through a late April snowstorm rolling into the area.
The Pick 5 gained popularity last season with one of the lowest takeout rates in the country at 11.99 percent. The wager continues to attract attention nationally and is held on the final five Thoroughbred races daily at Indiana Grand.
