Santa Anita, Golden Gate launch multi-track double with 15% takeout

Dubbed the “Golden Hour Double,” the bet requires players to select the winners of the last race at both tracks.  With a $5 minimum, the Golden Hour Double features a player-friendly low 15% takeout. It 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 of California racing for The Stronach Group, which operates both tracks. “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 each racing day, providing fans a pari-mutuel crescendo.
