Though 11/1 shot Bubuzela was the longest shot to win any of the first five races on Saturday at Hawthorne, no favourites crossed the wire first.  That was enough to confound the Pick 5 players: no one got the sequence right, so there’s a $8,866 carryover into Thursday’s sequence.  The minimum wager is $0.50, and it’s not a jackpot, so the whole pool pays out whether there is one correct ticket or there are many.

The sequence starts in race 1, and first post is at 3:10pm on Thursday, November 30.  For future reference, Thursday is the last day of this fall’s meet on which first post is that late — starting Friday, December 1, post time will be at 12:55pm each day through the rest of the meet.

Right here, we provide an ABCX chart to help you plan your tickets, as well as horse-by-horse analysis of each race.  Good luck!
