YR - YONKERS’ TUESDAY PICK 5 OFFERS A $7,500 CARRYOVER

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

YONKERS, NY, Monday, August 5, 2013—When 2-5 favorite Strung Out faded late in the lane Monday night, it meant a carryover caravan for Yonkers Raceway’s Pick 5 wager.

Tuesday’s till, already with a $10,000 guaranteed pool, shall be enriched to the tune of $7,500…and two cents.

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 Monday), the entire pool (minus takeout) carries over to the next racing program.

The Pick 5 offers that $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.
