LEXINGTON, Ky. – Keeneland will offer a 50-cent Pick Three wager during its upcoming spring race meeting.

The Pick Three is a wager in which you select the winner of three consecutive races. The previous minimum on the Pick Three was $1.

Keeneland currently offers 50-cent Pick Four and Trifecta wagers, as well as a 10-cent Superfecta.

“We’ve found these types of wagers to be very fan friendly,” said Rogers Beasley, Keeneland’s Director of Racing.  “They are more affordable, and have broad appeal among our fans, many of whom are novice players.”

Keeneland’s spring meet will be held April 2-23; post time is at 1:05 p.m. daily. There is no racing on Mondays and Tuesdays, or Easter Sunday, April 4.
