YONKERS,
NY, Monday, March 18, 2013--In theory, spring arrives Wednesday, but that small
factoid didn't stop Old Man Winter from making one last seasonal stand in the
greater New York area.
Monday night's scheduled dozen-race Yonkers Raceway program was curtailed after
three races due to wind-driven snow, which made for harness racing's version of
unsafe driving conditions.

None of Monday's four divisions of the second round of the Petticoat Pacing
Series went to post. That round shall not be made up, with the third and final
prelim round scheduled for next Monday night (Mar. 25).
The accompanying photo shows driver Larry Stalbaum and Tatoos N' Scars waltzing
through the white stuff in the $9,000, third-race pace.
The
Raceway's five-night-per-week live schedule continues--weather permitting--with
first post every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:10 PM.
Evening simulcasting accompanies all live programs, with afternoon simulcasting
available around the NYRA schedule.
