YONKERS, NY, Tuesday, June 25, 2019—A friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway that Thursday evening’s (June 27^th) Pick 5 wager starts with a carryover of $7,500 and a $20,000 guaranteed pool. The guarantee, approved by the New York State Gaming Commission, in 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 Thursday night. 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.
