YONKERS’ FRIDAY PICK 5 FEATURES $5,200 CARRYOVER, 15G GUARANTEE



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

YONKERS, NY, Thursday, May 10, 2018—A friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway that Friday evening’s (May 11th) Pick 5 wager starts with a carryover of $5,232.62 and a $15,000 guaranteed pool. The guarantee is in conjunction with the U.S. Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program.

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