YONKERS, NY, Monday, June 25, 2012—Yonkers Raceway shall increase the guarantee for its Tuesday late Pick 4 to $25,000, effective July 3rd.

"We're pleased with the results of the guarantee since we brought it back in April," general manager Bob Galterio said. "Our fans have supported it, and we know the added guarantee is going to attract even more interest.

"We appreciate the cooperation of the Standardbred Owners Association of New York, the USTA and the New York State Racing and Wagering Board."

Note that the guarantee for this Tuesday's late Pick 4 remains at $20,000, the same as Monday’s weekly late Pick 4 pot.
