Yonkers: Pick 5 carryover, guaranteed pool offered on Saturday

Saturday night's (May 18) program at MGM Yonkers Raceway will have a $4,129.18 carryover and a $15,000 guaranteed pool in the Pick 5 after the sequence was not hit on Friday night's (May 17) card.

The guarantee in the Pick 5 is being offered as part of the United States Trotting Association's Strategic Wagering Program. Free Harness Eye past performances for the Pick 5 will be available here. The Pick 5, which begins in race five, has a takeout rate of 20 percent.

Friday night's feature was the $35,000 fillies and mares invitational pace, and Karma Seelster, driven by Austin Siegelman, won on the front-end in 1:51 4/5. Silk Cloud A (Jordan Stratton) closed from first-over but came up a nose short of Karma Seelster, and Blue Chip Matchmaker Series champion Lit De Rose (Pat Lachance) closed well to grab third.
