YONKER'S THURSDAY PICK 5 WAS OFFICIALLY A BONANZA
SOANY • May 23, 2019
May 23, 2019-Yonkers Raceway's Thursday evening (May 23rd) Pick 5 wager, with a carryover of $5,420.42, easily leapfrogged its $15,000 guarantee.
Some $33,996 worth of fresh investments dove into the pool, thus a total pot (after takeout) of just under $31,000.
The Pick 5 winning combination of 2/5/2/1/4 saw one lucky lad/lass take it down to the tune of $30,917.25.
The Pick 5 is a 50-cent base wager comprising either races 6 through 10 (if 10 races) or 7 through 11 (if more than 10 races) each racing program. It has no consolation payoff, meaning if no one selects all five winners, the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next card.

CORRECTION - IMPORTANT UPDATE: We are pleased to report that the SOA of New York and MGM Yonkers have agreed to a one-month extension of the current Horsemen's Agreement that was to expire on June 30th. This will allow the parties the time necessary to negotiate a comprehensive, long-term Horsemen's Agreement. The Gaming Commission, which has the sole power to award race dates, has not awarded race dates for July as of this time. An earlier post had incorrectly indicated that race dates had been awarded.
