Exclusive ‘NYRA Bets Late Pick 5’ launches July 4
by Pat McKenna
The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) today announced the launch of the NYRA Bets Late Pick 5, exclusively available to NYRA Bets members across the country and to bettors in New York wagering on-track or through a simulcast facility.
Beginning on Tuesday, July 4, the popular multi-race wager will cover the last five races of every card of live racing at NYRA’s tracks – Belmont, Saratoga and Aqueduct - and features the same 15 percent takeout rate and $0.50 bet minimum as the existing early pick 5. The NYRA Bets Late Pick 5 will also feature the same carryover provision of 100% of the net pool into the next day's NYRA Bets Late Pick 5 if there are no winning tickets.
NYRA Bets members are also eligible for a guaranteed minimum $100,000 payout in the event that an account holder is the sole winner of the NYRA Bets Late Pick 5. The $100,000 guaranteed payout is available only to NYRA Bets members through the end of July.
"The Pick 5 has become the most popular bet in racing and this NYRA Bets Late Pick 5 combined with the single winner guaranteed payout gives our customers an opportunity for a life changing score" said Tony Allevato, President of NYRA Bets and Executive Producer for NYRA TV. “We’re pleased to be able to offer it on every day of world class NYRA racing.”
NYRA Bets is the best way to bet the July 8th Stars and Stripes Racing Festival, featuring five graded stakes including the $1.2 million Belmont Derby Invitational, the $1 million Belmont Oaks Invitational and the $750,000 Suburban Handicap.
