Buoyed by a Pick 5 carryover of $12,840.97 that drew in $94,000 and change worth of new money, Yonkers Raceway hit the seven-figure mark in wagering handle on Tuesday night’s (Feb. 22) 11-race card, with the final number totaling $1,030,607.92.
The Pick 5 returned $3,733.25 to those sharp enough to go five-for-five, and driver Austin Siegelman was the star of the sequence, winning with 19-1 shot Bet On Blake in race five, 3-1 offering Roll With Jr in the eighth, and 2-1 High St Corridor in the ninth. Both Roll With Jr and High St Corridor are trained by Nick Devita, while Dennis Laterza trains Bet On Blake.
In addition to the action in the Pick 5, the Pick 6, which started with a carryover of $3,618.73, brought in $9,272.60 from bettors, and one winning ticket collected $9,182.
Live harness racing resumes at Yonkers on Wednesday night (February 23) with a 10-race program.
