Monticello and Yonkers cancel racing Thursday

Monticello. NY – Due to the continued cleanup from Winter Storm Orlena, Monticello Raceway has cancelled live harness racing for today, Thursday, February 4, 2021. Qualifying races have also been cancelled for this week.

Yonkers, NY – Yonkers Raceway has canceled live racing for Thursday, February 4, 2021 as a result of icy track conditions that remain after clearing the track of snow.

Like other tracks and businesses facing similar circumstances, the combination of a devastating amount of snow, as well as the COVID-19 state-mandated quarantine requirements that have impacted our union workforce, have delayed the recovery of the track surface. We will always choose safety first and will resume live racing when we can ensure that track conditions do not endanger our human and equine athletes. The goal remains to race as soon as safely possible.
