Yonkers, NY — A friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway that Friday evening’s (June 29) Pick-5 wager starts with a carryover of $4,372.31 and a $15,000 guaranteed pool. The guarantee is in conjunction with the United States Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program.
The Pick-5 is a 50-cent base wager comprising races six though 10 Friday (if 11 or less races, the gimmick is the last five races on the card). It has no consolation payoff, meaning if no one selects all five winners (as was the case Thursday night), the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next racing program.
