Yonkers, NY — Yonkers Raceway’s Friday night Pick-5 now includes an impromptu guarantee.

After no one took home Thursday’s grand prize, the carryover of $4,464.82 translates to a $10,000 guaranteed pool.

The Pick-5 is a .50-cent base wager offered on races 5 through 9 nightly. It has no consolation payoff, meaning if no one selects all five winners (as was the case Thursday), the entire pool (minus takeout) carries over to the next racing program.

The Pick-5 offers that $10,000 guaranteed pool every Monday and Tuesday (in conjunction with the US Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program), with program pages for the “guarantee” days available at www.yonkersraceway.com.

The Raceway’s five-night-per-week live schedule continues, with first post every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:10 PM. Evening simulcasting accompanies all live programs, with afternoon simulcasting now available seven days.
