Yonkers, NY — A couple of friendly reminders from Yonkers Raceway.

In order of chronological importance, Thursday’s (Jan. 21) Pick-5 begins with a carryover of $2,602.43.

The Pick-5 is a 50-cent base wager comprising races seven through 11 during every racing program. It has no consolation payoff, meaning if no one selects all five winners (as was the case Tuesday afternoon), the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next program.

Next, the live schedule, with its February changes, including no Thursdays (they return in March) and no Sunday matinees until Feb. 28.

A complete schedule is available at www.yonkersraceway.com (all dates pending approval of the New York State Gaming Commission).
