YONKERS’ THURSDAY PICK 5 FEATURES $3,900 CARRYOVER


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

YONKERS, NY, Tuesday, May 23, 2017—A friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway that Thursday evening’s (May 25th) Pick 5 wager starts with a carryover of $3,917.16.  


The Pick 5 is a 50-cent base wager comprising races 7 through 11. It has no consolation payoff, meaning if no one selects all five winners (as was the case Tuesday night), the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next racing program.
