Despite the longest shot paying $10.80, the Stronach 5 still rewarded 43 bettors each with $2,746.20 Friday evening.
Friday’s Stronach 5, featuring an industry-low 12-percent takeout, free past performances and a $100,000 guaranteed pool, started with three consecutive races from Laurel Park with the longest price being $6.60. The last two legs of the Stronach 5 – both from Gulfstream Park – produced winners that returned $10.80 (Gossip Isle) and $7.20 (All D’ Hype).

The minimum wager on the multi-race, multi-track Stronach 5 is $1. If there are no tickets with five winners, the entire pool will be carried over to the next Friday.
For the Stronach 5, if a change in racing surface is made after the wagering closes, each selection on any ticket will be considered a winning selection. If a betting interest is scratched, that selection will be substituted with the favorite in the win pool when wagering closes.
The Maryland Jockey Club serves as host of the Stronach 5.
