Yonkers: Five-figure carryovers, guaranteed pools in Wednesday's early Pick 4, Pick 5

Tuesday night's (April 21) program at MGM Yonkers Raceway saw favorites go just one-for-nine, leading to both the late Pick 4 and the Pick 5 not being hit. As a result, there will be a $15,873.36 carryover and a $50,000 guaranteed pool in the early Pick 4 and a $12,495.08 carryover and a $40,000 guaranteed pool in the Pick 5 on Wednesday (April 22).

The guarantees in the early Pick 4 and Pick 5 are being offered as part of the United States Trotting Association's Strategic Wagering Program and free Harness Eye past performances are available here. The early Pick 4, which starts in Race 1, and the Pick 5, which begins in Race 5, have $1 minimums and have a takeout rate of 20 percent.

Wednesday night's $100,000 final of the John Brennan Trotting Series will be part of the Pick 5 sequence, as it is set to take place in Race 7, while the $50,000 consolation will be among the events in the Pick 4, as it is Race 2 on the nine-race card.
