YONKERS’ THURSDAY PICK 5 FEATURES $2,000 CARRYOVER

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

YONKERS, NY, Wednesday, August 23, 2017—A friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway that Thursday evening’s (Aug. 24th) Pick 5 wager starts with a carryover of $2,035.84.  


The Pick 5 is a 50-cent base wager comprising races 7 through 11 every racing program.  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.
