You’ve been put on notice – and even given extra time for homework.
Since no one took down Yonkers Raceway’s Tuesday night Pick 5 – complete with its $10,000 guarantee – the entire pool (minus takeout) of $7,500 gets rolled over. That carryover triggers a $25,000 guaranteed pool into Thursday night’s (Jan. 16) program.
The Pick 5 is a 50-cent-base wager offered on Races 5 through 9 nightly. It has no consolation payoff, meaning if no one selects all five winners (as was the case Tuesday), the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next racing program.
The last time a $25,000 incentive was in play (albeit, with a double carryover of just over $16,000) was mid-November, and more than $62,000 of fresh money was wagered.
The Pick 5 offers a $10,000 guaranteed pool every Monday and Tuesday, in conjunction with the US Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program.
