Yonkers, NY — Yonkers Raceway is indeed “running out of racetrack” for its 2015 season, with just seven live programs remaining (five evenings, one afternoon, one late morning).

The schedule is as follows:

• Friday (Dec. 4), Saturday (Dec. 5), Monday (Dec. 7), Friday (Dec. 11), Saturday (Dec. 12) with first posts at 7:10 p.m.
• Tuesday (Dec. 8) with first post at 1 p.m.
• Sunday (Dec. 13) is the final program of 2015, first post at 11:15 a.m.

Note that this Sunday (Dec. 6) was/is a scheduled dark day.

The proposed 2016, 238-program season is set to begin Thursday (Jan. 7), pending approval of the New York State Gaming Commission.

Please be advised there is no evening simulcasting during Yonkers’ end-of-season hiatus, with afternoon simulcasting available daily (save for NYRA’s Christmas down time, Dec. 21-25, inclusive).
