YONKERS, NY, Thursday, August 1,
2013—The first of the month resulted in the first Pick 5 carryover of the
month. No one had Yonkers Raceway’s multi-race wager Thursday, meaning Friday
night’s Pick 5 begins with a tidy $3,848.56 incentive.
The Pick 5 is a 50-cent base wager offered on races
5 through 9 nightly. It has no consolation payoff, meaning if no one selects
all five winners (as was the case Thursday), the entire pool carries over to
the next racing program.
The Pick 5 also offers a $10,000 guaranteed pool
every Monday and Tuesday (in conjunction with the US Trotting Association’s
Strategic Wagering Program), with program pages for the “guarantee” days
available for perusal at www.yonkersraceway.com.
The Raceway's five-night-per-week live schedule
continues, with first post every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday
at 7:10 PM. Evening simulcasting accompanies all live programs, with afternoon
simulcasting available around the NYRA schedule.
