Yonkers, NY — With nearly $9,500 unclaimed from Tuesday night’s (Oct. 1) Pick-5 wager, Yonkers Raceway’s Thursday night (Oct. 3) faithful easily vaulted up and over the $25,000 guarantee.

A season-high $44,885 of new money went through the windows, making for a total pool in excess of $53,000.

The winning sequence of 2 – Sandy’s Beach ($5.30), 3 – Labadee AS ($11.40), 5 – Forever Worth It ($4.40), 1 – Our Positano N ($12.40) and 1 – Rock N Tony ($6.40) returned $829.75 for every correct 50-cent wager.

Yonkers’ Pick-5 begins with either the sixth or seventh race during every program, offering a $10,000 guaranteed pool each Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. However, larger “instant guarantees” have happened quite frequently, as evidenced by Thursday evening.
