Yonkers Raceway’s Friday Pick 5 now comes complete with a $10,000 guaranteed pool.
No one waltzed away with Thursday’s gimmick, so Friday begins with a $6,246.86 carryover.
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, the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next racing program. Friday’s agenda includes both co-featured Open Handicaps (Race 6 – Filly and Mare Pace – Race 8 – Trot).
The Pick 5 offers a $10,000 ‘regular’ guaranteed pool every Monday and Tuesday in conjunction with the US Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program.
