YONKERS’ THURSDAY PICK 5 FEATURES $2,300 CARRYOVER

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

YONKERS, NY, Wednesday, August 17, 2016—A friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway that Thursday night’s (Aug. 18) Pick 5 wager begins with a bit of a carryover, as in $2,354.61.

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.
