YONKERS, NY,
Thursday, May 30, 2019—Just because Yonkers Raceway is dark doesn’t mean
Yonkers Raceway is quiet.
Ahead of the
return of live racing Friday night, June 7th, the Raceway is
offering these items of interest.
The first
draw—Monday, June 3rd—is actually a double draw (Friday/Saturday,
June 7th/8th), the entry box closing at 9 AM sharp.
A Friday/Saturday
condition sheet is available at
There are also
morning draws for the cards of Monday, June 10th (box closes
Tuesday, June 4th) and Tuesday, June 11th (box closes
Thursday, June 6th), before the regular late afternoon draw schedule
returns Friday, June 7th (card of Thursday, June 13th).
When racing
resumes, there’s also a Pick 5 guarantee going into effect. As part of the U.S.
Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program and with the approval of the
New York State Gaming Commission, a $10,000 guarantee is available every
Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evening, the first night being Monday, June 10th.
Should the
sequence go unhit, the current ‘instant guarantee’ remains leading to the next
racing program.
The Pick 5 is a
50-cent base wager comprising either races 6 through 10 (10-race card) or 7
through 11 (more than 10-race card). It has no consolation payoff, hence the
shot at an ‘instant guarantee”.
More information
shall be sent after the June 10th card is drawn.
First post remains
at 6:50 PM.
