As if a million dollars in stakes purses isn’t enough, marking Saturday, September 3, on the social calendar just became more meaningful.

For Yonkers Trot/Messenger Stakes evening, the track is embellishing the experience with a freebie, as in a green auto commuter travel mug (while supplies last).

Beginning at 4 p.m. that afternoon, all existing or newly-enrolled Empire Club members can visit the promotions booth to receive their spiffy mug.
