YONKERS, NY, Monday, January 5,
2015—Yonkers Raceway’s 2015, 238-program live schedule begins Friday night,
along with the return of evening simulcasting. Another example of good things
coming to those who wait.
A 12-race card has been drawn, featuring
q $35,000 Filly and Mare Open Handicap Pace (6th race), where a
locally-debuting millionaires--now-10-year-old Voelz Hanover (Pat Lachance)—was
assigned outside her five rivals.
Please note the post times for the
upcoming season are as such…
--Mondays/Thursdays/Fridays/Saturdays -
first post 7:10 PM
--Tuesdays - first post 1 PM
--Sundays - first post 11:25 AM (only
one [11th] in January)
Save for a six-card first full week,
Yonkers generally offers a five-program-per-week schedule. Included in that is
a proposed 31 days (174 races) simulcast to a French-hubbed audience. The
“French races” begin this Sunday Sunday, Jan. 11, and end with the final (Dec.
13) program of the season.
A stakes schedule shall be announced
shortly.
The complete 2015 schedule is pending
approval of the New York State Gaming Commission.
