Columbus, MN – Running Aces had a record setting night on Sunday (Aug. 2) as bettors wagered a total of $654,779 on the 12-race program at the Minnesota five-eighths mile oval. The previous handle record at Running Aces was $414,945 set back in 2022.


It was a solid 12-program that featured the $50,000 Dan Patch final as well as a mandatory payout for the track’s 20-cent Pick-5 Jackpot wager, which had gone unclaimed through the first 31 nights of the season and offered a carryover of $49,845 coming into the Sunday program.
Players enthusiastically responded to the opportunity for added value and pumped over $215,000 in new money into the Pick-5 wager.

The sequence for the Jackpot force-out bet began with the Dan Patch race that went to heavy favorite Cash Money Twenty and driver Casey Leonard who paid $2.80. Wisco Wild Card and Nick Roland provided some fireworks at 25-1 in leg two (paying $52.80) and the sequence then saw back-to-back second choice winners in Fox Valley Ozzy (Gary Rath, $7.60) and It’s Pointless (Dean Magee, $5.40) before race 12 favorite Marc In The Box (Brady Jenson, $4.60) delivered the goods to close out the night.

The 20-cent payout for winning Pick-5 tickets was $541.32.
