Yonkers Wraps 2017 Season Sunday

Yonkers Raceway wraps its 2017 live season this Sunday (Dec. 17th), with an 11-race matinee and a first post of 11:30 a.m.

Races 5 (post time 1:00 p.m.) through 11 (post time 4:00 p.m.) go as overflow-field, added-distance ‘French’ trots.

Note that Sunday’s ‘New York, New York Double’ features Aqueduct’s third race (post time 1:18 p.m.) and Yonkers’ sixth race (post time 1:30 p.m.).

As part of Yonkers Raceway’s season-ending program Sunday afternoon, the Pick 5 has a mandatory payout.

The 50-cent base wager gimmick (races 7 through 11) normally requires all five winners to get paid, with no consolation. However, since state law prohibits pools from being carried over into a new year, Sunday’s Pick 5 becomes a ‘must pay’ proposition.

Yonkers’ 2018 live season is scheduled to begin with a matinee on Sunday, Jan. 7 (post time TBA), pending approval of the New York State Gaming Commission.
