Tracks announce cancellations

The anticipation of the northeast’s first seasonal snowstorm has resulted in Yonkers Raceway’s first seasonal cancellation.

Live racing (and all simulcasting) has been scrapped for Saturday (Jan. 23).  It remains racing business as usual for today and tonight (Friday, Jan. 22).

Live racing is scheduled to resume Monday, Jan., 25, with a first post of 7:10 PM. As of this writing, with NYRA not having made a decision regarding its Sunday (Jan. 24) program, Yonkers’ Sunday simulcasting is TBA (or TBD, whichever you prefer).
