After an action-packed Sunday (Jan. 10) featuring a $172,173 Pick-5 pool, Pompano Park will follow that with twin $30,000 guaranteed pools in their two Pick-4 wagers during a 13-race extravaganza.
The Sunday Pick-5, with a generous carryover of $24,000 plus, attracted $148,147 in new wagering and, thanks to the heroics of 22-year-old Samuel King, 646 winning tickets resulted in a generous payday of $216.20 for a 50-cent ticket featuring three odds-on favourites, one 5-2 chance and one lone outsider at 13-1. Two of these odds-on favourites were piloted by 22-year-old Samuel King, who, with seven wins coming into Sunday night, posted his first driving double in a pair of Florida Amateur Driving events.
