Oaklawn Hot Springs will feature a trio of significant updates to its wagering menu for the upcoming 2025-2026 live racing season, highlighted by two new low-takeout bets and the return of a fan-favorite multi-race wager, the track announced Tuesday.
Starting on Opening Day, Oaklawn will launch two new wagers featuring a reduced 15% takeout, one of the lowest rates in North America, to offer greater value to customers.
Each race day will conclude with a new “Get Out Pick 3”, featuring a $3 base wager covering the final three races on the card and Oaklawn is also introducing a $5 minimum “Daily Final Double,” linking the last two races of the day. Additionally, Oaklawn will offer a Classix Pick 6, which will cover the final six races each day
“We're simply listening to our horseplayers,” Oaklawn President Louis Cella said. “These additions reflect our commitment to offering a wagering menu that is fair, competitive, and fun. We are excited to introduce these reduced takeout wagers at the end of the day that will put more excitement into our daily racing programs. The return of the Classix Pick 6 also adds intrigue to every day's card and should really enhance the days when it offers a sizable carryover.”
Oaklawn's opening day is Friday, Dec. 12.
