YONKERS, NY, Saturday, October 5, 2019–Yonkers Raceway's instant guarantee for its Saturday night (Oct. 5th) Pick 5 made someone instantly happy.
A single, solitary ticket with the magic sequence–3/6/3/6/7–took down the entire pool, good for $23,905.75 for that base 50-cent wager.
With nearly $5,300 unclaimed from Friday night's (Oct. 4th) Pick 5 wager, the Raceway's $15,000 guarantee was easily vaulted over with $24,808 of new investors.
The winning quintet of…
3-Betting Exchange ($34)
6-Military Master A ($10)
3-Don Domingo N ($3.90)
6-Prairie Panther ($7.80)
7-Mach it So ($39.80)
led to the single-ticket windfall.
Yonkers' Pick 5 begins with either the sixth or seventh race during every program, offering a $10,000 guaranteed pool each Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. However, larger 'instant guarantees' have happened quite frequently, as evidenced by Saturday evening.
