Here's one that sounds like a slot machine reference, maybe to pull in some of those new players from the slot side:

The Dime Progressive

True, because only one winner will hit it. Throwing Progressive in the name immediately conveys that.

Could also do

"The Mercury Progressive"

to blend with the name from my previous post, and still get the advertising hook, and the distinctive name.

'Progressive G6'

Also, using the word Progressive will alert slot and poker players to a 'jackpot' as that term is used for some table game in vegas and some bad beat thing in poker.

Exactly what I meant to imply also. The people who follow racing know that they carry over until hit, and the perfect ticket requirement ensures a jackpot.

But you're right -- the dedicated slots players might not realize that, and the progressive term will get their attention as they are already familar with it in that context.

only thing about that is do the people who are playing the slots or poker ever carryover to bet the horses?

"The 50-cent pick five will be offered with a 15 percent takeout, the smallest takeout offered on any pick five wager in the country, according to track officials."
