Santa Anita Park and Golden Gate Fields have combined forces to offer an exciting new wager beginning Saturday, Feb. 29. Dubbed the “Golden Hour Double,” the new wager requires players to select the winners of the last race at each track. With a $5 minimum, the Golden Hour Double features a player-friendly low 15% takeout. The wager will launch with a $50,000 guaranteed pool.
“We’re constantly looking at new ways to bring excitement to our wagering customers and the Golden Hour Double will do just that,” said Aidan Butler, acting executive director, California racing operations, TSG. “Our players want big pools to bet into with good field size and key betting value. With a low 15% takeout, this new wager provides them with a compelling and competitive way to finish out their race day.”
Although post times will vary, the last race at Santa Anita will precede the finale at Golden Gate Fields every racing day. Entries for Feb. 29 will be taken at both Santa Anita and Golden Gate Feb. 26.
