YONKERS’ FRIDAY PICK 5 FEATURES $4,300 CARRYOVER, 15G GUARANTEE


                          BY FRANK DRUCKER, Publicity Director, Empire City @ Yonkers Raceway          
YONKERS, NY, Thursday, June 28, 2018—A friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway that Friday evening’s (June 29th) Pick 5 wager starts with a carryover of $4,372.31 and a $15,000 guaranteed pool. The guarantee is in conjunction with the U.S. Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program.


The Pick 5 is a 50-cent base wager comprising races 6 through 10 Friday (if 11 or less races, the gimmick is the last five races on the card). 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.
