YONKERS’ SATURDAY PICK 5 FEATURES A NEARLY $3,000 CARRYOVER

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

YONKERS, NY, Friday, May 20, 2016—A friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway that Saturday evening’s (May 21) Pick 5 wager begins with a carryover of $2,979.90.


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