YONKERS’ THURSDAY PICK 5 FEATURES $6,100 CARRYOVER, 20G GUARANTEE


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

YONKERS, NY, Tuesday, February 27, 2017—A friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway that Thursday evening’s (March 1st) Pick 5 wager starts with a carryover of $6,118.60 and a $20,000 guaranteed pool.

The Pick 5 is a 50-cent base wager comprising races 6 through 10 (for these 10-race cards, ordinarily it’s 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.
