Yonkers, NY — A friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway that Tuesday afternoon’s (Oct. 13) Pick-5 wager begins with a carryover of $7,500.

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 Monday evening), the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next program.

Reminder, it’s a matinee card with a first post of 1 p.m.
