Edited release from Keeneland
Keeneland will implement several changes to its wagering menu this fall. There will be a guaranteed Pick Four, lower takeout on all Pick Three, Pick Four and Pick Six wagers and changes to the Pick Three rules.

A guaranteed $300,000 Pick Four, co-presented by TVG, will be offered each Sunday during live racing.

"The Pick Four is becoming a very popular wager," said Keeneland's president and CEO Nick Nicholson. "We hope people who follow Keeneland racing will enjoy wagering on the guaranteed Pick Four every Sunday."

Making the guaranteed Pick Four even more appealing to players is that its takeout--as well as the takeout on all Pick Threes and Pick Sixes--is being lowered to 17% from 19% for the fall meeting.

"The lower takeout means more money is returned to our customers," Nicholson continued. "It is a way for us to give back to our loyal fans."
