Yonkers, NY — In addition to the opening leg of the Blue Chip Matchmaker Series, Friday night’s (March 28) card at MGM Yonkers Raceway now has a $6,108.01 carryover and a $20,000 guaranteed pool in the Pick-5 after that wager wasn’t hit on Thursday night (March 27).
The Matchmaker will feature prominently during the Pick-5 on Friday as three of the four $50,000 divisions for older pacing mares will occur during the sequence.
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, are available at handicapping.ustrotting.com. The Pick-5, which begins in race five and has a $1 minimum, has a takeout rate of 20 percent.
Stakes action continues on Monday (March 31) at Yonkers with five $50,000 splits of the first round of the MGM Borgata Pacing Series for older males. Hellabalou begins his journey for three straight Borgata titles from post seven in the first flight (race five).
MGM Yonkers Raceway is currently operating on a Monday through Friday live schedule with post time each night at 6:45 p.m. (EDT).
