YONKERS’ THURSDAY PICK 5 FEATURES 10G GUARANTEE, $3,000 CARRYOVER

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

YONKERS, NY, Wednesday, March 9, 2015—A friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway that Thursday night’s (March 10) Pick 5 wager begins with both a $10,000 guaranteed pool (program pages available at www.yonkersraceway.com) and a tidy carryover of $3,1,84.85.

This is the first week that the guaranteed pool has been relocated from its previous Monday night residence.


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), the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next program.
