Yonkers Raceway will return from its hiatus Saturday night (June 13) and will do so with a $60,000 guaranteed Pick 5 pool, which will include a $25,569.51 carryover.
The Pick 5 will begin with a one-and-a-quarter-mile trot and a one-and-one-sixteenth-mile pace. Both races have drawn a field of 10.
If Yonkers’ Saturday Pick 5 goes unclaimed, the track’s Monday (June 15) Pick 5 guaranteed pool will be $100,000. If the current carryover remains in effect until Tuesday (June 16), the guarantee would swell to $125,000. If the Pick 5 is hit Saturday, Monday’s guaranteed pool will revert to the usual $10,000.
Yonkers’ Pick 5 is a 50-cent base wager comprised of Races 7 through 11 every racing program. It has no consolation payoff, meaning if no one selects all five winners (as was the case the last two programs), the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next racing program.
