Yonkers, NY — A friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway that Thursday evening’s (Feb. 1) Pick-5 wager starts with a carryover of $4,787.19 and a $15,000 guaranteed pool.

The Pick 5 is a 50-cent base wager comprising races six through 10 (for these 10-race cards, ordinarily it’s races seven through 11). It has no consolation payoff, meaning if no one selects all five winners (as was the case Tuesday evening), the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next racing program.
