Yonkers, NY — There are any number of places to watch American Pharoah’s quest to complete the elusive Triple Crown, but only one that offers $20 in incentives to do so.

Saturday afternoon (June 6), Empire City/Yonkers Raceway is presenting a Belmont Stakes viewing party in the Empire Terrace restaurant. The restaurant is located on the casino’s second floor, overlooking the racing surface. The party runs from 4-8 p.m., with free admission and no RSVP required.

Racing fans can enjoy live music with food and drink specials, plus wager on Belmont Park (first post is 11:35 a.m.) as well as other leading simulcast tracks while watching the races on 80” televisions.

As an added bonus, guests who bring the newspaper advertisement (running in local papers Friday and Saturday, June 5 and 6) to a promotions booth between 10 a.m.-6 p.m. receive a $10 race bet and $10 in casino free play.

Post time for the 147th running of the Belmont is 6:50 p.m., as American Pharoah tries to end a 37-year Triple Crown drought.
