Yonkers, NY — A bit of a change in times for this Sunday’s (Dec. 18) final 2016 ‘New York, New York Double.’

Aqueduct has moved its first post up an hour, to 11:20 a.m., to accommodate more races. Thus, the third race — first half of the gimmick double — now goes at 12:20 p.m., instead of the originally-scheduled 1:18 p.m.

Yonkers’ season-ending first post remains at 1 p.m. sharp, with our second race — second half of the wager — going at 1:30 p.m., as planned.

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

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

With Aqueduct having moved up the start of its Sunday program, Yonkers’ mutuel windows shall now open at 10:30 a.m.
