Yonkers, NY — A friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway that Friday night’s (Feb. 13) Pick-5 wager begins with a carryover of $3,059.33.

The Pick-5 is a .50-cent base wager offered on races five through nine nightly. It has no consolation payoff, meaning if no one selects all five winners (as was the case Thursday), the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next racing program.

Note that beginning this Monday (Feb. 16), the Pick-5 wager moves to races seven through 11 and offers a $10,000 guaranteed pool every Monday.
