Yonkers’ Saturday Pick-5 offers $10,000 guaranteed pool

Yonkers, NY — After a pair of 34-1 shots won legs of Yonkers Raceway’s Friday night Pick-5, the end result was predictable…no one hit it.
Thus, spiced by a $3,426 carryover, Saturday night’s Pick-5 shall include 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 Friday), the entire pool (minus takeout) carries over to the next racing program.
The Pick-5 already offers a $10,000 guaranteed pool every Monday and Tuesday.
