YONKERS’ TUESDAY PICK 5 FEATURES $2,200 CARRYOVER

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

YONKERS, NY, Monday, January 16, 2016—A friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway that Tuesday evening’s (Jan. 17) Pick 5 wager starts with a carryover of $2,252.76.  

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 night), the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next racing program.


Note that Tuesdays are now night cards, with first post at 7:10 PM.
