The more lucrative of the stakes is the $125,000 Dark Mirage. The race at one mile for fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up, will be offered Saturday, Sept. 21.
The other stakes event is the $75,000- guaranteed E.B. Johnston for 3-year-olds and up bred or sired in California. The one-mile race will be run Saturday, Sept. 14.
The wagering menu includes a pair of $1 Pick 4s on races 2-5 and the final four races along with a $2 Pick 6 as well as the Players’ Pick 5, a 50-cent minimum bet with a reduced takeout rate of 14 percent, on the first five races.
The Pick 6 will have the standard 70-30 split with 70 percent of the pool going to those tickets with six winners with the remaining 30% going to tickets with five of six winners.
