Yonkers, NY — Yonkers Raceway has canceled its live program for Saturday night (Feb. 13), due to the predicted record cold temperatures in the greater New York area. Evening simulcasting has also been scrapped.

Live racing and evening simulcasting are scheduled to resume Monday evening (Feb. 15), with a $10,000 guaranteed Pick-5 pool and a first post at 7:10 p.m.

Note that afternoon simulcasting is scheduled to be available Saturday, regardless of whether Aqueduct races or not. As of this writing, at least the third and fourth floor are to be open for simulcasting, which goes until approximately 6 p.m.
