Hollywood Casino at The Meadows will offer a pair of guaranteed pools this coming Wednesday (Jan. 14). In addition to the daily $5,000 guarantee on the Late Pick-4 (Races 10-13), a $10,000 minimum pool will be offered on the Race 13 Pentafecta. The Pentafecta was not hit on Saturday, resulting in a carryover of more than $3,600.
The annual Spring Early and Late Closer Series at The Meadows are coming up soon, and we are just over a month away from the deadline for entering the first four events. Feb. 15 will be the deadline to enter the Wilbur Zendt Memorial Pace, the Boots & Donna Dunn Memorial Pace, the Corwyn Greene Memorial Trot and the Joe & Mary Wohlmuth Memorial Trot. The events are for 3- and 4-year-old trotters and pacers, Pennsylvania-sired or PA-owned, that are non-winners of 2 extended PM races or $25,000 lifetime up to and including Jan. 15, 2026. Winners over $40,000 lifetime are not eligible.
Kyle and Amy Husted have recently arrived in southwestern Pennsylvania from the Illinois circuit, and the duo is off to a good start at The Meadows. They posted two wins last week from just six starts, and have already entered several horses for the Wednesday and Thursday cards.
