YONKERS, NY, Wednesday, September 16,
2015—It wouldn’t be an International Trot without international trotters, now
would it?
Accordingly, Yonkers Raceway is pleased to
announce seven more confirmed participants for the million-dollar event, set
for Saturday afternoon, Oct. 10th.
The list--alphabetically--includes…
BBS Sugarlight (Norway)
Oasis Bi (Italy)
On Track Piraten (Sweden)
Papagayo E (Norway)
Rod Stewart (Italy)
Seabiscuit (Finland)
Timoko (France).
All are scheduled to leave for New York
Wednesday, Sept. 30th. We are in the midst of compiling
biographical/statistical information about these “invaders,” and shall
disseminate as soon as possible.
Other invitees are to be determined based
on this weekend’s racing, including, but not limited to, Mohawk’s Maple Leaf
Trot.
Again, please note the International (back
after two decades) is part of a scheduled matinee card, with proposed first
post (pending approval of the NYS Gaming Commission) at 2 PM and the race
itself going at approximately 3:20 PM.
