It was ‘bombs away’ in the final leg of Thursday night’s Pick 5 sequence at Yonkers Raceway when 43-1 shot Big Bad Bill rallied to win in 1:54.3.
As a result of that big upset, there will be a carryover of $4,313.12 and a guaranteed pool of $15,000 the Pick 5 on Friday night’s card.
Yonkers Raceway’s Pick 5, which begins in race five, has a reduced takeout rate for 2021 of 20 percent, as do the nightly Pick 4’s and Pick 6. The Pick 6, which starts in the third race, also went unsolved on Thursday, triggering a carryover of $1,569.21 into Friday.
There is stakes action both Friday and Monday night (March 15) at Yonkers, with three $35,000 divisions of the first leg of the Blue Chip Matchmaker Series up first, and then five $40,000 splits of the MGM Borgata Pacing Series to start out next week’s slate of action. Both programs get underway at 7:15 p.m.
