YONKERS, NY, Sunday, February 16,
2014—They are the two favorite words in the parlance of multi-race
wagering…”guarantee” and “carryover”.
For Monday’s Presidents’ Day, Yonkers
Raceway’s Pick 5 offers both, a $10,000 guaranteed pool spiced up with a
carryover of $2,642.80. The latter was a result of no one waltzing away with
Saturday night’s big prize.
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, the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next racing
program.
The Pick 5 offers a $10,000 regular guaranteed pool
every Monday and Tuesday (in conjunction with the US Trotting Association’s
Strategic Wagering Program), with program pages for those days available for
perusal at www.yonkersraceway.com.
The Raceway's five-night-per-week live schedule continues (weather permitting),
with first post every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:10
PM. Evening simulcasting accompanies all live programs, with afternoon
simulcasting available daily.
