Yonkers: Pick 6 carryover, guaranteed pool Monday
The Pick 6 was not hit again on Friday night at Yonkers Raceway, thanks mostly to upsets by 21-1 Well Done Son and 7-1 Kerrin Joseph A. As a result, when racing resumes at Yonkers on Monday night (August 30), there will be a $5,414.93 carryover and a $10,000 guaranteed pool in the wager.
The guarantee is being offered as part of the United States Trotting Association's Strategic Wagering Program. Yonkers Raceway's Pick 6 has a takeout rate of 20 percent, as do the track's nightly Pick 4 and Pick 5 wagers.
Friday night's featured race was the $45,000 Open Handicap Trot, and 12-year-old Melady's Monet, driven by Jason Bartlett, staved off challenges by Champagne On Ice (Joe Bongiorno) and Chaptiama (George Brennan) to win in 1:54 2/5. This was career win number 79 for the 12-year-old Revenue S gelding trained by Hermann Heitmann for owner Melady Enterprises LLC. Melady's Monet paid $3.40 to win and led a $6.50 exacta and a $24.40 trifecta.
