Yonkers, NY — Yonkers Raceway’s Tuesday Pick-5 now comes with a $25,000 guaranteed pool.

That figures includes a $7,500 carryover after Monday’s wager — with its $10,000 guaranteed pot — went unclaimed.

Tuesday’s gimmick — a 50 cent base wager on races five through nine, as usual — includes four $12,500 divisions of the second round of the Sagamore Hill Pacing Series.

Handicappers can see the program pages for the Pick-5 races at www.yonkersraceway.com.
