Yonkers, NY — Yonkers Raceway’s live schedule gets an amendment next week as Thursday nights return Aug. 30.

It’s pretty much a trade-off with Sundays, whose current cycle ends Sept. 2.

Note that first post for Thursdays is the usual (for evenings) 6:50 p.m.

Thursdays are in play until Nov. 1, while Sunday matinees return Nov. 4.

Also note there is no live racing scheduled for Labor Day Monday and Tuesday (Sept. 3 and 4). Aside from that, Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday evenings remain.
