At 0h03, on December 20, 2025 • By Tim Bojarski, Batavia Downs

The final night of racing for 2025 at Batavia Downs is this Saturday (Dec. 20) and the track is going out with a bang as they offer two carryover pools with huge guarantees and mandatory payouts for both, and featured in the first and last races of the night.

After racing concluded on Wednesday (Dec. 17) without anyone hitting these wagers, there will be a $1,312 carryover in the Pick-5 wager in the first race and a $2,004 carryover in the Jackpot Super Hi-5 pentafecta in the 15th race this Saturday and the management at Batavia Downs has announced that both pools will be guaranteed at $10,000 each, with a mandatory payout due to closing day at the end of the year.

These guarantees are made in conjunction with the United States Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program.

Post time for the first race is 6 p.m.
