Yonkers, NY — Yonkers Raceway has cancelled live racing and all simulcasting for Friday (Feb. 22) due to the snowstorm which has blanketed the greater metropolitan area.

Please be advised that both the final and consolation of the Hopeful Pacing Series for 3-year-old fillies have been rescheduled for next Friday, Feb. 29.

Live racing (and evening simulcasting) is scheduled to resume Saturday, Feb. 23, with the usual 7:40 p.m. first post. The Saturday night card features the final (and consolation) of the Hopeful for sophomore pacing colts and geldings.

Saturday afternoon simulcasting is also scheduled — provided NYRA races.
