Yonkers, NY — The lure of Yonkers Raceway’s two premier trotting events going to post the same night now comes with a freebie.

Fans attending the $605,854 final of the Yonkers Trot and the $324,694 final of the Hudson Filly Trot — both scheduled for Saturday night, June 28 — get a complimentary T-shirt (while supplies last). The T-shirt features both the Empire City and Yonkers Raceway logos.

Yonkers’ five-night-per-week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday — all at 7:40 p.m. — and Saturday — 6:50 p.m.) schedule remains in effect. Evening simulcasting accompanies all live programs, with afternoon simulcasting available around the NYRA schedule.

Please be advised that beginning the week of Monday, June 30, and continuing through the week of Monday, Oct. 27, Yonkers is adding Wednesday nights (first post 7:40 p.m.) to its live schedule.
