Racing at Canterbury Park
Canterbury Park announced June 5 an industry-low 10 percent takeout rate on its Pick 5 wager.
The pari-mutuel wager, offered each race day on the final five thoroughbred races, requires the participant to select the winners of those five consecutive races, placing the bet before the first race in the series. The base wager will be 50 cents and on opening day, June 10, it will begin with the fourth race.
Track officials, beginning an amended 52-day season June 10, took entries for the nine-race program Friday morning. The eight thoroughbred races, all on the main track, and one Minnesota-bred quarter horse race drew a total of 86 horses. The 9.56 horse-per-race average exceeds the 7.31 season average in 2019.
The season will be conducted primarily on a Monday through Thursday schedule with a 4:30 p.m. CT first post.
