YONKERS’ THURSDAY PICK 5 FEATURES $7,800 DOUBLE CARRYOVER

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

YONKERS, NY, Tuesday, January 17, 2017—A friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway that Thursday evening’s (Jan. 19) Pick 5 wager starts with a certifiably-enticing double carryover of $7,800.95.  

The Pick 5 is a 50-cent base wager comprising races 6 through 10 (for programs with 10 races…if more, then it goes as races 7 through 11). It has no consolation payoff, meaning if no one selects all five winners (as was the Monday and Tuesday nights), the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next racing program.
