Fast math question…When does $6,537.25 and $10,000 add up to $24,654.75? When it’s the balance sheet from Yonkers Raceway’s Monday night Pick 5.
The usual $10,000 Monday guaranteed pool was enriched with $6,537.25 of carryover coin, so it attracted $24,654.75 of fresh green.
After takeout from the new money, that left a pool $25,028.31 (give or take some loose change). The winning combination of 4/1/4/6/1 returned $1,191.75 for every correct 50-cent wager.
Speaking of Pick 5’s, we again offer a reminder about Saturday’s International Trot matinee card (first post 2 p.m.), with a $75,000 guaranteed pool and $25,000 of seed money. The Pick 5 that day only is comprised of races 2 through 6, with the International going as the fourth race.
