Yonkers, NY – Some pari-mutuel fireworks on Friday’s (July 4) Independence Day program at MGM Yonkers Raceway led to no tickets having five-of-five in the Pick-5. As a result, there will now be a $4,688.36 carryover and a $15,000 guaranteed pool in the wager on Saturday (July 5).
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 and has a $1 minimum, has a takeout rate of 20 percent.
MGM Yonkers Raceway is now operating on a Monday, Tuesday and Thursday through Saturday live racing schedule with post time each night at 6:45 p.m. (EDT).
