Yonkers: Pick 5, early Pick 4 carryovers, guaranteed pools offered Friday

Upsets from post eight starters Mon Amour, Warrawee Whisper and Cantstop Yankee during the Pick 5 and late Pick 4 sequences on Thursday night (April 23) at MGM Yonkers Raceway led to those wagers not being hit for the second time this week.

As a result, Friday's (April 23) program will now have a $9,190.42 carryover and a $30,000 guaranteed pool in the early Pick 4 in Race 1 and a $8,561.03 carryover and a $30,000 guaranteed pool in the Pick 5 in Race 5.

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 will be 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.

Three of the four races in Friday’s Pick 4 will be the $50,000 divisions of the final preliminary round of the MGM Ursula McIntyre Pacing Series.

Looking forward to Monday (April 27), the last leg of the MGM Borgata Pacing Series is set to take place with a trio of $50,000 splits.

This is the final week that Yonkers is on the Monday through Friday live racing schedule for a bit as the oval will switch to Monday/Tuesday and Thursday through Saturday slate beginning next week and continuing through the first week in June. Post time will be 6:45 p.m. (EDT) except Saturday, as those programs will kick off at 3:30 p.m. (EDT).
