Consider this a friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway, where Friday night’s Pick 5 wager begins with a $4,645.88 carryover and $15,000 guaranteed pool.
The guarantee has been approved by the New York State Gaming Commission and is in conjunction with the U.S. Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program. If the wager was not hit (as was the case Thursday night [Jan. 30th]), the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next racing program.
Thursday’s sequence bombardier was courtesy of 47-1 Pecorino (Joe Bongiorno, $97.50), who closed from last off the final turn to win the $12,500, eighth-race pace in 1:55.3.
As a reminder, Yonkers’ Pick 5 remains a 50-cent base wager, now encompassing races 5 through 9 nightly.
