YONKERS, NY, Monday, September 25, 2017– Buoyed by a double carryover of $7,779.95 and more than $22,000 in fresh play, Yonkers Raceway's Monday night (Sept. 25th) harness racing Pick 5 made one investor very happy.
A single (base 50-cent wager) winning ticket with the combination of 2/1/1/3/6 paid a 2017-high $24,594.50.
The sequence included four double-digit payouts and just one winning favorite.
The Pick 5 (again, base 50-cent base wager) is comprised of races 7 through 11 during every racing card. It has no consolation payoff, meaning if no one selects all five winners, the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next racing program.
