YONKERS, NY, Thursday, January 30,
2014—Yonkers Raceway’s Friday Pick 5 now comes complete with a $10,000
guaranteed pool.
No one waltzed away with Thursday’s gimmick, so Friday begins with a $6,246.86
carryover.
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, the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next racing
program. Friday’s agenda includes both co-featured Open Handicaps (6th
race--Filly and Mare Pace, 8th race—Trot).
The Pick 5 offers a $10,000 “regular” guaranteed
pool every Monday and Tuesday (in conjunction with the US Trotting
Association’s Strategic Wagering Program), with program pages for those 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 daily.
