Yonkers, NY — Even after $10,116 was wagered into Yonkers Raceway’s Monday night Pick-5, there was no winner in sight.

Bad news for those folks, but good news for the Tuesday troops.

Tuesday evening, Yonkers’ Pick-5 offers a generous carryover of $7,587.

The Pick-5 is a 50 cent base wager offered on races five through nine nightly. It has no consolation payoff, meaning if no one selects all five winners (as was the case Monday), the entire pool carries over to the next racing program.

The Pick-5 also offers a $10,000 guaranteed pool, part of the USTA Strategic Wagering Program, every Monday and Tuesday, with program pages for the “guarantee” days available for perusal at www.yonkersraceway.com.
