YONKERS PICK 5 GUARANTEE MOVES TO THURSDAY
June 12, 2019
June 12, 2019-Yonkers Raceway's Pick 5 guarantee completes its first week Thursday night (June 13th).
As part of the U.S. Trotting Association's Strategic Wagering Program and with the approval of the New York State Gaming Commission, a minimum $10,000 pot is available every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evening.
The first two pools-more than $13,000 and $11,000, respectively-eclipsed that magic threshold.
The Pick 5 is a 50-cent base wager comprising either races 6 through 10 (10-race card) or 7 through 11 (more than 10-race card). It has no consolation payoff.

CORRECTION - IMPORTANT UPDATE: We are pleased to report that the SOA of New York and MGM Yonkers have agreed to a one-month extension of the current Horsemen's Agreement that was to expire on June 30th. This will allow the parties the time necessary to negotiate a comprehensive, long-term Horsemen's Agreement. The Gaming Commission, which has the sole power to award race dates, has not awarded race dates for July as of this time. An earlier post had incorrectly indicated that race dates had been awarded.
