Hawthorne Harness: Mandatory Payout in Jackpot Hi-5 Saturday

With a growing carryover that is approaching $200,000, the Jackpot tag will be removed from the Hi-5 wager at Hawthorne on Saturday night as a mandatory payout will be put in place. The Jackpot Hi-5 wager at Hawthorne has not been won by a single winner in over a month as the carryover has grown to $189,900. The mandatory payout on the Hi-5 will take place in Hawthorne's final race on Saturday night (July 24), race eleven.

Race eleven on Saturday is a very evenly-matched 12-horse pace for fillies and mares with an anticipated post of 11:10 PM Central time. The Hi-5 at Hawthorne is a $.20 base minimum wager. With the large carryover in the Hi-5, the pool for the wager is expected to exceed $500,000.
