YONKERS, NY, Monday, November 18, 2013—The
players came out with both fists for Yonkers Raceway’s Monday night Pick 5.
The Pick 5 is a 50-cent base wager offered on races
5 through 9 nightly. It has no consolation payoff, meaning if no one selects
all five winners (as was the case both Friday and Saturday), the entire pool
(minus takeout) moves to the next racing program.
Buoyed by a $25,000 guaranteed pool
(including a two-day carryover of $16,174.33), $62,017 of fresh money was
wagered. Going into the final race, all combinations were accounted for, with
the winning sequence of 7/1/1/4/2 returning $263.75 for every four bits.
The Pick 5 offers a $10,000 guaranteed pool every
Monday and Tuesday (in conjunction with the US Trotting Association’s Strategic
Wagering Program), with program pages for the “guarantee” days available for
perusal at www.yonkersraceway.com.
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 now
available daily.
