YONKERS, NY, Thursday, February 22, 2017—A
friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway that Friday evening’s (Feb. 23rd)
Pick 5 wager starts with a carryover of $3,677.73 and a $15,000 guaranteed
pool.
The Pick 5 is a 50-cent base wager
comprising races 6 through 10 (for these 10-race cards, ordinarily it’s races 7
through 11). It has no consolation payoff, meaning if no one selects all five
winners (as was the case Thursday night), the entire pool (minus takeout) moves
to the next racing program.
