YONKERS, NY,
Thursday, January 9, 2020—Consider this a friendly reminder from Yonkers
Raceway, where Friday night’s (Jan. 10th) Pick 5 wager begins with a
$4,371.03 carryover and $15,000 guaranteed pool.
The guarantee has
been approved by the New York State Gaming Commission and is in conjunction
with the U.S. Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program. The
carryover was assured after Ray Schnittker and Full Rights rolled by from a
three-hole, winning the last leg of the sequence at a $42.60 mutuel (1:57.2).
It’s the second
time in the first three racing nights of the season that the Pick 5 has gone
unsolved. This past Tuesday night (Jan,.7th), more than $22,000 of
new money came in to chase a $4,700-plus carryover and the same $15,000
guaranteed pool.
As a reminder,
Yonkers’ Pick 5 wager now encompasses races 5 through 9 nightly.
