Yonkers, NY — A friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway regarding our previously-scheduled break in the schedule.

After the Art Rooney Pace/Lismore program of Saturday (May 31), the Raceway shall be dark — as in no live racing and/or evening simulcasting — until Friday (June 13).

Afternoon simulcasting continues daily, highlighted by the June 7 Belmont Stakes.

Until the R&R, Yonkers’ five-night-per-week live schedule continues, with first post every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:10 p.m. Evening simulcasting accompanies all live programs, with — again — afternoon simulcasting available daily.

Note that for Preakness weekend at Pimlico, Yonkers’ mutuel windows open at 11 a.m. Friday (with advance wagering available on the entire Preakness Day card) and at 10 a.m. Saturday.

A current schedule is always available at www.yonkersraceway.com.
