Yonkers’ Monday double-carryover Pick-5 gets noticed

Yonkers, NY — There were many presidents sent through the windows for Yonkers Raceway’s Presidents’ Night (Monday, Feb. 17) Pick-5 wager.

That’s what happens with a double-carryover of $16,144.27 and a $35,000 guaranteed pool.

The guarantee was easily lapped by $71,034 of fresh investments, leaving a final pool of (approximately) $69,419.

The winning combination of 8-Southwind Moroccan (Joe Bongiorno, $11.60), 5-Fox Valley Inferno (Matt Kakaley, $3.30), 2-Razor’s Edge (George Brennan, $7.60), 4-Tiger Baron (Brennan, $12) and 5-Knocking Around (Brennan, $4.30) returned $802.50 for every correct half-a-buck ticket.

As an aide, Southwind Moroccan was a last-to-first winner in 1:53.3, despite throwing a shoe warming up.

The Pick-5 is a 50-cent base wager (races five through nine) with no consolation payoff. It had not been hit since this past Thursday (Feb. 13).
