Yonkers: Pick 5 carryovers on both Thursday, Saturday

This week's seeded $5 minimum Pick 5 at MGM Yonkers Raceway was not hit on Wednesday night's (September 6) program, so there will be a carryover of $19,100.75 in the sequence starting in Thursday night's (September 7) fifth race. This carryover amount is combined with $15,000 of seed money from the SOA of New York to make the total "free" money available $34,100.

Additionally, the same amount of $19,100.75, along with another $15,000 in seed money, is now in the Pick 5 pool for Saturday's (September 9) MGM Yonkers International Trot program. There will be a mandatory payout of the wager on that card.

The "Lucky" Pick 5 is a non-Jackpot bet and offers a takeout rate of 20 percent.

MGM Yonkers Raceway will race tomorrow night at 7 p.m. and then will be dark on Friday (September 8) in preparation for Saturday's blockbuster that includes the $1 million MGM Yonkers International Trot, two $250,000 invitationals - the Aria for pacers and the Robert Miecuna for trotters - and the eight $225,000 New York Sire Stakes finals for 2- and 3-year-olds of both sexes and gaits. Post time on Saturday is 12:15 p.m. (EDT).
