Thursday night offers a bit of role reversal, with Yonkers Raceway beginning
simulcasting of its signal to Australia.
The final eight races (4 through 11) on the card shall be offered to the
Aussies Thursday night, with Thursdays being the night of choice at the outset.
The plan is to add Saturdays nights to the new market once the Meadowlands
concludes its racing season. Wagering is conducted using a separate pool,
though co-mingling is on the horizon.
"We welcome harness fans in Australia, and look forward to seeing how well
our product is received," general manager Bob Galterio
said.
The Raceway continues its normal five-night-per-week live schedule, with first
post every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:10 PM. Evening
simulcasting accompanies all live programs, with afternoon simulcasting
available around the NYRA schedule.
