YONKERS CANCELS SATURDAY LIVE RACING, ALL SIMULCASTING

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

YONKERS, NY, Friday, January 22, 2016—The anticipation of the northeast’s first seasonal snowstorm has resulted in Yonkers Raceway’s first seasonal cancellation.

Live racing (and all simulcasting) has been scrapped for Saturday (Jan. 23).  It remains racing business as usual for today and tonight (Friday, Jan. 22).

Live racing is scheduled to resume Monday, Jan., 25, with a first post of 7:10 PM. As of this writing, with NYRA not having made a decision regarding its Sunday (Jan. 24) program, Yonkers’ Sunday simulcasting is TBA (or TBD, whichever you prefer).
