Longshots key to no Pick 5 winner

A 12-1 upset by Dashintothebeach N and a 13-1 surprise by Ooh Rah in the first two legs of Wednesday night’s (February 2) Pick 5 sequence at Yonkers Raceway were the keys to the wager not being hit.

As a result, when racing resumes on Thursday night (February 3), there will be a $7,754.20 carryover and a $20,000 guaranteed pool in the sequence.

The guarantee in the Pick 5 is being offered as part of the United States Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program. Free past performances for the Pick 6, courtesy of TrackMaster, will be available here. The Pick 5, which begins in race five, has a takeout rate of 20 percent.

Thursday night’s 10-race card at Yonkers gets going at 6:55 p.m., and the feature is the $39,000 Fillies & Mares Open Handicap Pace.
