by Pat McKenna

The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) today announced the launch of the NYRA Bets $1 million Late Pick 5 bonus, which will be available exclusively to NYRA Bets customers on every Saturday and Sunday during the 2023 summer meet at historic Saratoga Race Course.
 
In addition to the pari-mutuel payout, should a single winner capture a Saturday or Sunday Late Pick 5 then the winner will receive a $1 million bonus. To qualify for the bonus, the wager must be placed through NYRA Bets.

Featuring a low 15 percent takeout rate and 50 cent minimum, the Late Pick 5 is open to retail customers only and offered on every live race day at NYRA tracks. The popular multi-race wager, which covers the last five races of the card, features a carryover provision of 100 percent of the net pool into the next day's Late Pick 5 if there are no winning tickets.

Launched as a national advance deposit wagering platform (ADW) in 2016 and currently available to customers in 36 states, NYRA Bets provides fans the opportunity to wager on horse racing from anywhere at any time. The NYRA Bets app is available for download today on iOS and Android at NYRABets.com.
