YONKERS, NY, Monday, January 27,
2014—Ten thousand became 20-large with Yonkers Raceway’s Monday night Pick 5
Buoyed by a $4,535.53 carryover from
Saturday night, the regular Monday $10,000 guaranteed pool was dwarfed when
$20,140 was poured in through the precincts.
The winning combination of 1-7-1-3-5
returned $82.75…not bad considering the largest win mutuel in the sequence was
eight bucks and there were a pair of odds-on numbers as well as a
just-over-even-money proposition.
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.
The Pick 5 offers a $10,000 guaranteed pool every
Monday and Tuesday (in conjunction with the US Trotting Assoction’s Strategic
Wagering Program), with program pages for those “guarantee” days (including
Monday’s 25-large) 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 now
available daily.
