YONKERS, NY, Tuesday, October 24,
2017—Yonkers Raceway Sunday matinees return this weekend (Oct. 29th),
with a dozen races and a first post of High Noon.
It’s the first of a half-dozen Sunday
matinees between then and the end of the racing season (remaining five post
times TBA).
This Sunday’s card offer a dozen races,
with races 2 (post time 12:45 PM) through 8 (post time 3:45 PM) each featuring
10 ‘French-themed’ trotters at the mile-and-a-quarter distance.
Sunday also means the returns of the ‘New
York, New York Double,’ this week included Belmont Park’s third race (post tine
2:01 PM) and Yonkers’ fifth race (post time 2:15 PM). Program pages for this
wager ($1 minimum, 18½ percent takeout) shall be sent when available.
Note that Sunday is closing day for
Belmont, so the remaining 2017 editions of the ‘New York, New York Double’
include Aqueduct as the NYRA track (NYRA remains the host for this wager).
Final Yonkers’ post time Sunday is set for
5:05 PM.
