Consider this a friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway, where Friday night’s Pick 5 wager begins with a $4,371.03 carryover and $15,000 guaranteed pool.
The guarantee has been approved by the New York State Gaming Commission and is in conjunction with the U.S. Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program.
The carryover was assured after Ray Schnittker and Full Rights rolled by from a three-hole, winning the last leg of the sequence at a $42.60 mutuel (1:57.2).
It’s the second time in the first three racing nights of the season that the Pick 5 has gone unsolved. This past Tuesday night (Jan,.7th), more than $22,000 of new money came in to chase a $4,700-plus carryover and the same $15,000 guaranteed pool.
As a reminder, Yonkers’ Pick 5 wager now encompasses races 5 through 9 nightly.
