Yonkers, NY — A friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway that Thursday night’s (July 30) Pick-5 wager begins with a bit extra in the till, as in a carryover of $1,268.96.

The Pick-5 is a 50-cent base wager comprising races seven through 11 during every racing program. It has no consolation payoff, meaning if no one selects all five winners (as was the case Tuesday afternoon), the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next program.
