YONKERS’ THURSDAY PICK 5 FEATURES $4,300 CARRYOVER, 15G GUARANTEE



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

YONKERS, NY, Tuesday, October 23, 2018—A friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway that Thursday evening’s (Oct. 25th) Pick 5 wager starts with a carryover of $4,388.11 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 6 through 10 Thursday night. 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.
