It wasn't the Fourth of July but there were plenty of pari-mutuel fireworks at Pompano Park as the famed South Florida closed out its season with record breaking handle while several other pools were at—or near—record levels on Sunday night (May 2). Total handle exceeded $1.7 million, giving Pompano its record 21st million-dollar-plus program for the season. In it's history dating back to 1964, the track had a total of six such nights. The "Send-It-In" Army members were rewarded with some healthy rewards as the 50-cent Pick 5, with a $100,000 guaranteed pool, paid $708.10 with two odds-on favourites, two 4-1 shots and a single 8-1 winner comprising the mix.
