Added Incentive For Yonkers Trot Winner

Published: August 22, 2017 03:01 pm EDT

Once again shamelessly plagiarizing a term from our thoroughbred brethren, “Win and You’re In.”

Yonkers Raceway has announced that the winner of the 63nd Yonkers Trot shall automatically receive a Yonkers International Trot invitation.

The $500,000 Yonkers Trot goes Saturday night, Sept. 2 (eliminations this Saturday, Aug. 26th), while the million-dollar, mile-and-a-quarter Yonkers International Trot is set for Saturday afternoon, Oct. 14.

This is the third incarnation of International since its return after a 20-year hiatus.

“We are compiling a list of world-class trotters for our International,” race secretary Steve Starr said. “Last season’s winner, Resolve, is coming back to defend his title and it’s shaping up as a glorious race.”

More information about the 2017 Yonkers International Trot shall be announced shortly.
