Published: September 3, 2024 11:23 pm EDT

For the second time this week there will be a Pick 5 carryover at MGM Yonkers Raceway as no tickets had five-of-five in the wager on Tuesday’s (Sept. 3) program, leading to $4,525.33 going into the pot for Wednesday’s (Sept. 4) card. The pool will be guaranteed at $15,000.

The guarantee in the Pick 5 is being offered as part of the United States Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program. Free past performances for the Pick 5, courtesy of TrackMaster, will be available at the USTA website. The Pick 5, which begins in race five, has a takeout rate of 20 percent.

Later this week on Saturday, along with an all-stakes card, Yonkers Raceway will be offering bettors a huge opportunity. A special mandatory payout $1 Pick 5 wager will be offered starting in race 5 with the MGM Yonkers International Trot. The bet includes $50,000 in carryover money funded by the Standardbred Owners Association of New York. In conjunction with the USTA’s Strategic Wagering Program, the pool will be guaranteed at $150,000 and free past performances will be available at the USTA website courtesy of Trackmaster.

Those attending the races live on Saturday are invited to enjoy a buffet-style meal in the Empire Terrace dining room at $80 per person. No reservations are required.

MGM Yonkers Raceway will race on Wednesday and Thursday this week, then will be dark on Friday prior to Saturday's stakes-laden program. Post time is at 7 p.m. (EDT) on Wednesday and Thursday and noon on Saturday.
