WELL-RECEIVED DEBUT FOR YONKERS’ ‘ALL-SUPERFECTA MONDAYS’


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

YONKERS, NY, Monday, April 2, 2018—Yonkers Raceway’s first ‘All-Superfecta Monday’ (Apr. 2nd) found an audience.

A total, 12-race handle of $996,050 included superfecta pools that were consistently in five figures.

The evening’s equine star was Beyond Delight (Jim Marohn Jr., $4.30), who went first-up and over in the $22,000, 11th-race pace. The 1:51.4 mile is now the fastest local effort of 2018.  The 4-year-old Bettor’s Delight gelding, co-owned by Jeff & Michael Snyder and Four Friends Racing Stable, has won half of his six seasonal starts.

A reminder that for early handicapping, Yonkers’ Monday programs are available for download at http://www.empirecitycasino.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/mon_program.pdf (finalized no later than Friday afternoon).
