YONKERS’ FRIDAY PICK 5 FEATURES $3,100 CARRYOVER, 10G GUARANTEE


                          BY FRANK DRUCKER, Publicity Director, Empire City @ Yonkers Raceway           
YONKERS, NY, Tuesday, July 17, 2018—A friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway that Friday evening’s (July 20th) Pick 5 wager starts with a carryover of $3,150.04 and a $10,000 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 7 through 11 (if less than 11 races, than the gimmick is the last five races). It has no consolation payoff, meaning if no one selects all five winners (as was the case Tuesday night), the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next racing program.
