YONKERS, NY, Thursday, December 15, 2016—A bit of change in times
for this Sunday (Dec. 18th) final 2016 ‘New York, New York Double’.
Aqueduct has moved its first post up an hour, to 11:20 AM, to
accommodate more races. Thus, the third race—first half of the gimmick
double—now goes at 12:20 PM, instead of the originally-scheduled 1:18 PM.
Yonkers’ season-ending first post remains at 1 PM sharp, with our
second race—second half of the wager—going at 1:30 PM, as planned.
Past performance pages for these races shall again be made
available in all corresponding on-track and simulcast programs. The ‘New York,
New York Double,’ also available through Empire City Bets, is a one dollar
minimum wager and an 18.5 percent takeout rate.
With Aqueduct having moved up the start of its Sunday program,
Yonkers’ mutuel windows shall now open at 10:30 AM.
