Yonkers: Guaranteed pools, advance wagering on the horizon

Yonkers Raceway, with the approval of the New York State Gaming Commission, shall implement a pair of wagering changes, effectively immediately.

First, an ‘instant guarantee’ for any Pick 5 which carries over.

The amount of the guarantee depends upon the amount of the carryover…

less than $3,500 -- $10,000 guaranteed pool

between $3,501 and $6,000 -- $15,000 guaranteed pool

between $6,001 and $9,000 -- $20,000 guaranteed pool

between $9,001 and $12,000 -- $25,000 guaranteed pool

between $12,001 and $15,000 -- $35,000 guaranteed pool

These guarantees are in conjunction with the U-S Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program.

Yonkers shall also began offering—when the schedule permits—Saturday advance wagering for the next day’s Sunday ‘French’ card. The first such instance is this weekend, ahead of Sunday’s (Jan. 21st) 11:30 AM program.
