YONKERS’ MONDAY PICK 5 GETS ATTENTION

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

YONKERS, NY, Monday, June 30, 2014—Yonkers Raceway’s Monday night Pick 5, with its impromptu $25,000 guaranteed pool, bought out the bettors with many fists.

A total of $31,216 of fresh money was added to a double-carryover of $9,381 and some change.

The “phrase that pays” sequence (with win mutuels) was

1-Northmedo Wine Guy ($5.80)
1-In the Clear ($2.40)
2-Janinne ($9.10)
2-Cheyenne Jeffrey ($24.80)
8-Dallenbach Hanover ($4.10) (along with scratch numbers 5 and 6)

            and returned $452.50 for every half-a-buck base wager.

The Pick 5 regularly 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 those “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 daily.
