Night Of Champions Offers $10K Guaranteed Pick 5 Pool

Published: September 28, 2013 12:14 am EDT

The category is "Know Your Statebreds" for $10,000.

If you're not familiar with the best of the Empire State, now you have incentive to be a quick study.

Since no one negotiated Yonkers Raceway's Friday night Pick 5, the resulting carryover of $3,575.91 becomes a $10,000 guaranteed pool for Saturday.

...And Saturday's quintet of races (five through nine) just happen to be the final five Night of Champions events -- $225,000 sire stakes finals for three-year-old trotting fillies, three-year-old trotting colts/geldings, two-year-old pacing colts/geldings, three-year-old pacing fillies and three-year-old pacing colts/geldings.

The Pick 5 is a 50-cent base wager offered on races five through nine nightly. It has no consolation payoff, meaning if no one selects all five winners (as was the case Friday), the entire pool (minus takeout) is supplemented into the next racing program.

The wager also continues its built-in Monday/Tuesday night $10,000 guaranteed pool as part of the USTA Strategic Wagering Program. Program pages for those days are available for perusal at www.yonkersraceway.com.
