EMPIRE CITY/YONKERS RACEWAY HOSTING “FREE BET” BELMONT VIEWING PARTY


BY FRANK DRUCKER, Publicity Director, Empire City @ Yonkers Raceway

YONKERS, NY, Thursday, June 4, 2015—There are any number of places to watch American Pharoah’s quest to complete the elusive Triple Crown, but only one that offers $20 in incentives to do so.

Saturday afternoon (June 6), Empire City/Yonkers Raceway is presenting a Belmont Stakes Viewing Party in the Empire Terrace restaurant. The restaurant is located on the casino’s second floor, overlooking the racing surface. The party runs from 4-8 PM, with free admission and no RSVP required.

Racing fans can enjoy live music with food and drink specials, plus wager on Belmont Park (first post is 11:35 AM) as well other leading simulcast tracks while watching the races on 80” televisions.
 
As an added bonus, guests who bring the newspaper advertisement (running in local papers Friday and Saturday, June 5 and 6) to a promotions booth between 10 AM-6 PM receive a $10 race bet and $10 in casino free play. 


Post time for the 147th running of the Belmont is 6:50 PM, as American Pharoah tries to end a 37-year Triple Crown drought.
