Churchill offers Super Hi-5 wager, with Mercedes bonus for Derby Churchill Downs will offer a daily opportunity for its racing fans to win big when it introduces its new Super Hi-5 wager starting with Saturday's opening day of the historic track's April 26-July 6 Spring Meet. A special Super Hi-5 wager on the $2 million Kentucky Derby (G1) will offer fans a chance of a massive payout and a possible bonus of a new Mercedes Benz SL550 valued at more than $100,000. The Super Hi-5 is a minimum $1 wager that challenges bettors to select the first five finishers in correct order in a designated race. If there is no winning ticket in that race, the betting pool will be carried over to the next day's designated Super Hi-5 race. The Super Hi-5 betting pool could grow very large if the wager goes several days without being hit. The Super Hi-5 Special offered on the 134th running of the Kentucky Derby on May 3 will provide a new opportunity for fans to win big on America's greatest race. Fans who correctly select the first five finishers in order in the expected 20-horse field in the "Run for the Roses" not only have a chance for a huge winning payout, but if there is only one winner, that bettor will take home a 2009 Mercedes Benz SL550. The luxurious Mercedes Benz SL550, furnished by Louisville's Tafel Motors, will be awarded as a bonus only if there is a single winning ticket in the Kentucky Derby Hi-5. If there is no winning ticket, the pool will carry over, as usual, to the first post-Derby racing program at Churchill Downs on May 7. "Fans of Churchill Downs racing love the prospect of competitive fields and large winning payouts, and the new Super Hi-5 provides a new product with the potential to build to a huge payout if the betting pool carries over for a few days," said Jim Gates, general manager of Churchill Downs. "The Kentucky Derby Hi-5 is a great addition to an already exciting wagering menu on the Kentucky Derby, which in recent years has seen huge payouts in exactas, trifectas, superfectas and multi-race wagers like the Pick 3, Pick 4 and Pick 6. And the bonus of a $100,000 Mercedes Benz SL550 if yours is the only winning ticket should only add to its attraction and excitement. Whether you're a skilled handicapper or just plain lucky, you can end up in the same place: cashing a big Super Hi-5 payout at Churchill Downs." The 2009 Mercedes Benz SL550 that is being offered as the bonus to a lone winning ticket holder in the Kentucky Derby Hi-5 will be on display in front of the centerfield tote board at the track throughout Kentucky Derby Week. The Super Hi-5 will be offered as a daily betting option beginning with the final race of Saturday's 11-race opening day racing program.
