Yonkers, NY — For the second time this week there will be a Pick-5 carryover at MGM Yonkers Raceway as no tickets had five-of-five in the wager on Tuesday’s (Sept. 3) program, leading to $4,525.33 going into the pot for Wednesday’s (Sept. 4) card. The pool will be guaranteed at $15,000.
The guarantee in the Pick-5 is being offered as part of the United States Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program. Free past performances for the Pick-5, courtesy of TrackMaster, will be available at handicapping.ustrotting.com. The Pick-5, which begins in race five, has a takeout rate of 20 percent.
Later this week on Saturday, along with an all-stakes card, Yonkers Raceway will be offering bettors a huge opportunity. A special mandatory payout $1 Pick-5 wager will be offered starting in race five with the MGM Yonkers International Trot. The bet includes $50,000 in carryover money funded by the Standardbred Owners Association of New York. In conjunction with the USTA’s Strategic Wagering Program, the pool will be guaranteed at $150,000 and free past performances will be available here courtesy of TrackMaster.
Those attending the races live on Saturday are invited to enjoy a buffet-style meal in the Empire Terrace dining room at $80 per person. No reservations are required.
