Northfield Park and Yonkers Raceway have issued releases regarding pool for their respective Tuesday, October 15 cards of live racing.
Northfield Park Adds $7,500 Guaranteed Pick 5 Total Pool To Tuesday’s Card
Northfield Park is announcing the addition of a $7,500 Pick 5 total pool guarantee to Tuesday’s (October 15) program.
Beginning in Race 3, the $7,500 Pick-5 guaranteed total pool includes a carryover of $1,459.27.
Northfield’s Pick 5, Pick 4 and the Pick 3s offer a reduced takeout rate of just 14 per cent.
Tuesday’s first-race post time is 6:30 p.m.
Yonkers' Tuesday Pick 5 Includes $13K Carryover, $25K Guarantee
A rare double-carryover for Yonkers Raceway’s Pick 5 makes Tuesday night’s wager as enticing as any around.
After no one took home Monday night’s grand prize, the ensuing carryover of $13,097.90 means the ‘traditional’ $10,000 guaranteed Tuesday pool now swells to two-and-a-half times that, or a cool $25,000.
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 both Saturday and Monday), the entire pool (minus takeout) carries over to the next racing program.
The Pick 5 offers that $10,000 guaranteed pool every Monday and Tuesday (in conjunction with the US Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program), with program pages for the ‘guarantee’ days available for perusal at yonkersraceway.com.
The Raceway's five-night-per-week live schedule continues, with first post every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:10 p.m. Evening simulcasting accompanies all live programs, with afternoon simulcasting available around the NYRA schedule.
