YONKERS’ SATURDAY PICK 5 FEATURES $9,400 DOUBLE-CARRYOVER

BY FRANK DRUCKER, Publicity Director, Empire City @ Yonkers Raceway

YONKERS, NY, Friday, February 19, 2016—A rare double-carryover has resulted in Yonkers Raceway’s Saturday night (Feb. 20) Pick 5 wager beginning with $9,404.08 on account   

The Pick 5 is a 50-cent base wager comprising races 7 through 11 during every racing program. It has no consolation payoff, meaning if no one selects all five winners (as was the case Tuesday afternoon and Friday evening), the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next program.
