YONKERS, NY, Thursday, January 19,
2017—Yonkers Raceway’s Thursday evening’s (Jan. 19) Pick 5, fortified by a
spiffy double-carryover of $7,800.95,
received its fair share of attention.
A brand-new,
17,398 infusion created a total pool (after takeout) of $20,849 and some
change.
The winning
combination was…
2-Diamond
Cowboy ($10.40)
4-Santanna
One ($9.80)
4-Rock
Absorber ($5.90)
4-Analyze
($10.80)
3-Macho Chick
($6.10, Tyler Buter’s fourth win in 10-race card)
returning
$969.50 for every correct half-a-buck wager.
The Pick 5 is a 50-cent base investment
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 case Monday and Tuesday nights), the entire pool
(minus takeout) moves to the next racing program.
