 It has been almost three months since the last single unique winning ticket on the Jackpot Hi-5 pentafecta was cashed and as a result, the carryover for that wager has grown to a record $21,499, which is the highest carryover pool of any kind ever offered at Batavia Downs and it will be available when live racing resumes at the oldest lighted harness track in North America on Wednesday (Nov. 24).  

The Jackpot Hi-5 pentafecta on Wednesday is in race nine and it features a very even group of nine Trackmaster 73 pacers, three of which have recently posted winning efforts. However the draw and several driver changes from last week could definitely have an affect on the final outcome. It’s the perfect scenario for a longshot to win and provide that elusive single winning ticket needed to take home a jackpot that could easily exceed $25,000 by post time.

With only six race days left in the 2021 Batavia meet, the carryover could continue to grow until closing night. If that happened, with the approval of the New York State Gaming Commission, it would become a mandatory payout on the final night of racing (Saturday, Dec. 11) and would most likely be enhanced with a guaranteed pool in conjunction with the United States Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering program.

Post time for the first race on Wednesday is at 5 p.m.

Race 1: BOCHK Cross-Border Services Handicap

#9 Running Glory finds a suitable starting point his career here. He’s trialled up well and looks a solid chance on debut to upstage more fancied rivals. One of those being #1 Seasons Bliss who kicked strongly to score a commanding win first-up. He looks a super talent who can take another step forward here. #10 Solar Partner grabbed third on debut. Expect another forward showing from him here. #12 E Brother turned his form around last start. He’s open to improvement.

Race 2: BOCHK SME In One Handicap

#4 Good Buddy won well first-up, digging deep under hard-riding from Zac Purton to score narrowly. He only needs to offset the wide gate to be a winning chance once more. #9 Peak To Peak surprised at 45/1 last time out. He...

The last time a single unique winning ticket was purchased on the Jackpot Super Hi-5 pentafecta at Batavia Downs was Monday (Sept. 6) when one lucky patron cashed for $4,279.10 on the combination of 3-7-2-6-9. Fast forward 27 racing days and the lack of a winner since then has led the carryover to grow to $18,534 and that amount will seed the pool for that wager on Wednesday night (Nov. 17).

The Jackpot Super Hi-5 pentafecta on Wednesday is in race 11 and it features a group of nine Trackmaster 73 trotters who are all searching for their first win in over a month. It’s the perfect scenario for a longshot to win and provide that elusive single winning ticket needed to take home a jackpot that could easily exceed $20,000 by post time.

However if history has shown anything, the long drought could continue to day 28 and beyond and with only seven live racing days left in 2021, the carryover could continue to grow until the end of the meet. If that happened, with the approval of the New York State Gaming Commission, it would become a mandatory payout on the final night of racing (Saturday, Dec. 11) and would most likely be enhanced with a guaranteed pool in conjunction with the United States Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering program.
