Yonkers, NY — Favorites were blanked in Saturday night’s (September 21) Pick 5 at MGM Yonkers Raceway, leading to no winning tickets being held. As a result, when racing resumes on Monday (September 23), there will be a $5,183.10 carryover in the wager, and the $10,000 guaranteed pool in the sequence that normally takes place on Mondays will get a bump to $15,000.
The guarantee in the Pick 5 is being offered as part of the United States Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program. Free past performances for the Pick 5, courtesy of TrackMaster, will be available at handicapping.ustrotting.com. The Pick 5, which begins in race five, has a takeout rate of 20 percent.
This coming week at MGM Yonkers Raceway marks the end of the Monday/Tuesday and Thursday through Saturday live racing schedule for the year as action will switch back to a Monday through Friday basis beginning the week of Monday, September 30. Post time remains at 7 p.m. (EDT).
