Yonkers, NY — Yonkers Raceway’s next Sunday (July 2) matinee goes this weekend, with a 12:30 p.m. first post.

It’s a 12-race, all-trot card, with races three, post time 1:25 p.m., through six, 2:55 p.m. of the ‘French’ theme, as in overflow fields at the 1-1/4 mile distance. The $68,000 Open Handicap goes as the third race, with a robust dozen, including the last matinee idol, Rubber Duck (Joe Bongiorno, post 12).

The remaining July Sundays (16th, 23rd and 30th) all have the popular post time of TBA and will be updated when those are available.

The ‘New York, New York Double’ is also back this Sunday, including Belmont’s third race, post time 2:37 p.m. and Yonkers’ seventh race, post time 3:15 p.m. Program pages accompany this release.

Final post for Sunday is scheduled for 4:55 p.m.
