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

YONKERS, NY, Monday, February 24, 2020—Consider this a friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway, where Tuesday night’s (Feb. 25th) Pick 5 wager begins with a $8,398.22 carryover and $20,000 guaranteed pool.
The guarantee has been approved by the New York State Gaming Commission and is in conjunction with the U.S. Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program. If the sequence was not hit (as was the case Monday night [Feb. 24th] after 41-1 Grand Master [Austin Siegelman, $84] won the last leg, the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next racing program.  
As a reminder, Yonkers’ Pick 5 remains a 50-cent base wager (5 through 9).
