YONKERS’ FRIDAY PICK 5 FEATURES $9,400 CARRYOVER, 25G GUARANTEE


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

YONKERS, NY, Thursday, June 13, 2019—Twenty-five large, people.

A friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway that Friday evening’s (June 14th) Pick 5 wager starts with a carryover of $9,416.12 and a $25,000 guaranteed pool. The guarantee, approved by the New York State Gaming Commission, 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 Friday night. 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.
