By David Joseph —-

LAUREL, MD – The Stronach 5, featuring three races from Gulfstream Park and two from Laurel Park, rewarded two bettors Friday with payoffs of $51,815 each.

The Stronach 5, a national pick 5 with an industry-low 12-percent takeout, was hit by a bettor in New York and another on Xpressbet.com.

The Stronach 5 ended with Marcelino winning the final leg of the sequence and returning $169.20.

Friday’s Stronach 5 sequence

● Leg One – Laurel Park Eighth Race – Great Adventurer $5
● Leg Two – Gulfstream Park Eighth Race – Macho Blue $11.40
● Leg Three – Laurel Park Ninth Race – Midnight Cry $4.60
● Leg Four – Gulfstream Park Ninth Race – Over Promised $8.60
● Leg Five – Gulfstream Park 10th Race – Marcelino $169.20

The minimum wager on the multi-race, multi-track Stronach 5 is $1. If there are no tickets with five winners, the entire pool will be carried over to the next Friday.

For the Stronach 5, if a change in racing surface is made after the wagering closes, each selection on any ticket will be considered a winning selection. If a betting interest is scratched, that selection will be substituted with the favorite in the win pool when wagering closes.

The Maryland Jockey Club serves as host of the Stronach 5.
