Breeders' Cup adds Super High Five wager

Special to the Herald-Leader

The Breeders' Cup announced the wagering menu for the 25th Breeders' Cup on Oct. 24-25 at Santa Anita Park, including a new Super High Five wager on the Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic and the Breeders' Cup Classic.

In the Super High Five, bettors are required to select the first five finishing places on one ticket. If no one hits on Friday, the pool will carry over to Saturday's Super High Five on the Classic, where there will be a mandatory payout.

The $3-million guaranteed pick six is included on the Saturday card. Friday will also have a pick six, with a carryover provision if no one correctly selects the six winners.

Other featured wagers include:

■ Ten-cent superfectas will be offered on all but the two Super High Five races.

■ Two of Saturday's pick fours are guaranteed. The early pick four, starting on race 2, has a $1 million guarantee. The later one, starting on race 6, has a $2 million guarantee.
