YONKERS, NY, Thursday, July 3,
2014—Yonkers Raceway has cancelled the final 10 races of its scheduled 12-race
Thursday night card due to torrential rain accompanied by lightning in the
greater New York area.
Evening simulcasting is continuing.
Note that the $25,000 guaranteed
pool Pick 5 (with $7,500 carryover) has now been rolled over to Friday’s Fourth
of July program, with the usual first post of 7:10 PM.
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 Tuesday and with the Thursday cancellation),
the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next racing program.
The Pick 5 regularly 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 those
“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
available daily (note Belmont’s first post Friday is 3 PM).
