YR - YONKERS' THURSDAY PICK 5 OFFERS A $7,500 CARRYOVER…GIVE OR TAKE $1.36



BY FRANK DRUCKER, Publicity Director, Empire City @ Yonkers Raceway
           
YONKERS, NY, Tuesday, July 16, 2013--The lure of a $10,000 guaranteed pool was offset by some confounding results.

As a result--and after the final leg winner paid $78.50--no one took down Yonkers Raceway's Pick 5 Tuesday night. This provides a fair amount of free money going into Thursday's quintet.

A total of $7,498.64 is to be added to the pot for the base $.50 Pick 5, which encompasses races 5 through 9 every racing night. The wager has no consolation payoff. Hence, the sizable stipend going into Thursday.
           
The Raceway's five-night-per-week live schedule continues, with first post every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:10 PM. Evening simulcasting accompanies all live programs, with afternoon simulcasting available around the NYRA schedule (note that Saratoga opens Friday).
