The 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.
The late Pick 4 and Pick 6 will continue to be offered at Saratoga on the final four and six races of the day, respectively.
All multi-leg wagers that enter closing day with a carryover provision including both Pick 5's the late Pick 4 and Pick 6 will have a mandatory payout on the final day of the meet Monday, September 5.
