YONKERS’ MONDAY PICK 5 FEATURES $3,500 CARRYOVER


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

YONKERS, NY, Monday, August 21, 2016—A friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway that Monday evening’s (Aug. 22) Pick 5 wager begins with a carryover of $3,501.50.


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