Yonkers: Pick 5 carryover, $15,000 guaranteed pool on Friday

43-1 shot Big Bad Bill said 'bombs away' in the final leg of Thursday night's (March 11) Pick 5 sequence at Yonkers Raceway, rallying to win in 1:54 3/5. As a result of that big upset, there will be a carryover of $4,313.12 and a guaranteed pool of $15,000 in the Pick 5 on Friday night's (March 12) card.

The guaranteed pool in the Pick 5 is part of the United States Trotting Association's Strategic Wagering Program. Free Harness Eye PP's for the Pick 5 will be available here.

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 tomorrow 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.
