YONKERS, NY, Tuesday, June 27,
2017—Yonkers Raceway’s next Sunday matinee goes this weekend (July 2nd),
with a 12:30 PM first post.
It’s a 12-race, all-trot card, with races
3 (post time 1:25 pm) through 6 (2:55 PM) of the ‘French’ theme, as in overflow
fields at the mile-and-one-quarter distance. The $68,000 Open Handicap goes as
the third race, with a robust dozen, including the last matinee idol, Rubber
Duck (Joe Bongiorno, post 12).
The remaining July Sundays (16th,
23rd & 30th) all have the popular post time of TBA
(updates when available).
The ‘New York, New York Double’ is also
back this Sunday, including Belmont’s 3rd race (post time 2:32 PM)
and Yonkers’ 7th race (post time 3:15 PM).
Final post for Sunday is scheduled for
4:55 PM.
