Massive French effort in anticipation of Yonkers’ live racing import

from the Standardbred Owners Association of New York

Yonkers, NY — In anticipation of the first ever export of Yonkers Raceway’s live action to France, which takes place during their early evening hours this Sunday, November 9, the betting shops and publicists are busy introducing French patrons to the new product.

As but one example, the attached is from the pages of Paris-Turf, the country’s prestigious industry publication. In addition to a colors chart, the pages include entries, selections and lists of the top drivers and trainers at the Hilltop Oval.

As professional sports leagues are presently venturing to places like England and Japan to exhibit their products, both Yonkers Raceway management and its horsemen have recognized the global nature of the 21st century economy. We are proud to partner with the industry insiders in France who have not only accepted our product for display and wagering, but are doing everything possible to enhance its exposure. The success of this six week experiment will chart a course for worldwide simulcasting and, soon, co-mingled pools.
