YONKERS’ THURSDAY PICK 5 = $8,199 DOUBLE-CARRYOVER

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

YONKERS, NY, Tuesday, September 27, 2016—A friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway that Thursday night’s (Sept. 29) Pick 5 wager begins with a rare double-carryover of $8,199.88.


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 both Monday night and Tuesday afternoon), the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next program.
