Some pari-mutuel fireworks on the Friday, July 4 Independence Day program at MGM Yonkers Raceway led to no tickets having five-of-five in the Pick 5. As a result, there will now be a $4,688.36 carryover and a $15,000 guaranteed pool in the wager on Saturday.
The guarantee in the Pick 5 is being offered as part of the United States Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program. Free past performances for the Pick 5, courtesy of TrackMaster, will be available at handicapping.ustrotting.com. The Pick 5, which begins in race five and has a $1 minimum, has a takeout rate of 20 per cent.
MGM Yonkers Raceway is now operating on a Monday/Tuesday and Thursday through Saturday live racing schedule with post time each night at 6:45 p.m.
