NO ELIMINATIONS NEEDED FOR HUDSON TROT, LADY MAUD

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

YONKERS, NY, Tuesday, August 16, 2016—Due to a limited number of entrants for both Yonkers Raceway stakes, neither the Hudson Filly Trot nor the Lady Maud Pace are in need of elimination races this Saturday night.

Thus, the races for 3-year-old fillies go as “one-dash-for-the-cash” events, set for Saturday night, Aug. 27.

The seven in-to-go’s (alphabetically) for $118,574 Hudson are…Celebrity Eventsy, Dancing in TheHall, Dream Child, Hillosophical, Southwind Hope, Wildflower and Windowshopper.

The half dozen (alphabetically) lasses for the $109,050 Lady Maud are…Apple Bottom Jeans, Cheyenne Triengel, Hug a Dragoness, Newborn Sassy, Skinny Dipper and Time on My Hands.


Post positions for both races shall be drawn next Tuesday morning, Aug. 23.
