YONKERS, NY, Monday, September 23,
2017—Buoyed by a double carryover of $7,779.95 and more than $22,000 in fresh
play, Yonkers Raceway’s Monday night (Sept. 23rd) Pick 5 made one
investor very happy.
A single (base 50-cent wager) winning
ticket with the combination of 2/1/1/3/6 paid a 2017-high $24,594.50.
The sequence included four double-digit
payouts and just one winning favorite.
The Pick 5 (again, base 50-cent base
wager) is comprised of races 7 through 11 during every racing card. It has no
consolation payoff, meaning if no one selects all five winners, the entire pool
(minus takeout) moves to the next racing program.
