The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) has announced that it will offer a $350,000 Guaranteed Late Pick 4 Saturdays at Belmont Park during the 2009 Spring/Summer Meet, beginning on Saturday, May 9.

Although NYRA offers daily Pick 4’s on races 2-5 and 7-10, the $350,000 guarantee applies only to the Late Pick 4 on Saturdays. The Late Pick 4 is a $1 minimum wager in which the bettor must correctly pick the winners of the last four races on the card, usually beginning with race 7. By guaranteeing the wager for $350,000, NYRA will supplement the difference if the total wagering pool for the Saturday Late Pick 4 is less than $350,000.

On Belmont Stakes Day, Saturday, June 6, NYRA is offering a $1 Million Guaranteed Pick 4 and a $1 Million Guaranteed Pick 6. During the 2009 Aqueduct Spring Meet, NYRA offered a $250,000 Guaranteed Late Pick 4 on Saturdays.

The 64-day Belmont Park Spring/Summer Meet runs April 29 through July 26, with live racing Wednesday through Sunday. On most days, gates open at 11:00 a.m. and first post is at 1:00 p.m. The 141st Running of the Belmont Stakes is on Saturday, June 6. There is no live racing on Mondays or Tuesdays, with the exception of Memorial Day, Monday, May 25. Belmont Park will also be dark on Wednesday, May 27 and Sunday, June 7.
