YONKERS, NY, Monday, November 18, 2013—A
rare double-carryover for Yonkers Raceway’s Pick 5 makes Monday night’s wager
is as enticing as any around.
After no one took home Saturday night’s grand prize, the ensuing carryover of
$16,174.33 means the “traditional” $10,000 guaranteed Monday pool now swells to
two-and-a-half times that…or a cool $25,000.
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 both Friday and Saturday), the entire pool
(minus takeout) hopscotches 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
(please note the fifth race says “$10,000 guaranteed pool,” as the program was
finalized before the “double carryover.” However, it is indeed $25,000).
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 now
available daily.
