Favourites went one-for-nine on the Tuesday, April 21 at MGM Yonkers Raceway, leading to both the late Pick 4 and the Pick 5 not being hit. 

As a result, there will be a $15,873.36 carryover and a $50,000 guaranteed pool in the early Pick 4 and a $12,495.08 carryover and a $40,000 guaranteed pool in the Pick 5 on Wednesday.

The guarantees in the early Pick 4 and Pick 5 are being offered as part of the United States Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program and free past performances, courtesy of TrackMaster, will be available at handicapping.ustrotting.com. The early Pick 4, which starts in Race 1, and the Pick 5, which begins in Race 5, have $1 minimums and a takeout rate of 20 per cent.

Wednesday night’s $100,000 USD final of the John Brennan Trotting Series will be part of the Pick 5 sequence, as it is set to take place in Race 7, while the $50,000 USD consolation will be among the events in the Pick 4, as it is Race 2 on the nine-race card.

Looking ahead, the final prelims in both the MGM Ursula McIntyre Pacing Series and the MGM Borgata Pacing Series are set, with three $50,000 USD divisions of the McIntyre on Friday and the Borgata on Monday.

This is the final week that Yonkers is on the Monday-through-Friday live racing schedule for a while as the oval will switch to a Monday-Tuesday and Thursday-through-Saturday slate beginning next week and continuing through the first week in June. Post time will be 6:45 p.m. except Saturday, as those programs will kick off at 3:30 p.m.
