Yonkers sees season-high Pick 5 payout

For the harness racing person who deciphered Yonkers Raceway's Leap Night Pick 5 combination, the result was a very good get.

With $11,897 wagered into Monday's $10,000 guaranteed pool, one lad (or lass) took down the entire gimmick ($8,923.75 after takeout for that half-a-buck ticket).

The magic numbers, with their respective win mutuels…

7th race – (1) I Am the Cowboy ($5.90)

8th race – (3) Lawgiver Hanover ($12.60)

9th race – (5) Rock My World ($23.60)

10th race – (1) OK Gorgeous ($11.40)

11th race – (3) Fiery Lustre N ($14.40)

With nary a favorite among the quintet, the result was the highest Pick 5 payout of the season.

The Raceway's live season continues with a Tuesday matinee (first post 1 PM), then Thursday through Saturday evenings (first posts 7:10 PM).
