Yonkers, NY — This Sunday (Dec. 18) brings the end of Yonkers Raceway’s live season, and — not coincidentally — the final 2016 rendition of the ‘New York, New York Double.’

With Yonkers’ first post at 1 p.m. sharp, the Sunday’s sequence begins with Aqueduct’s third race (post time 1:18 p.m.), then our second race (post time 1:30 p.m.).

The ‘New York, New York Double’ is a cooperative effort between the New York Racing Association, Yonkers Raceway and their respective horsemen.

Past performance pages for these races shall again be made available in all corresponding on-track and simulcast programs.

The ‘New York, New York Double,’ also available through Empire City Bets, is a $1 minimum wager with an 18.5 percent takeout rate.
