Yonkers, NY — The greater New York area’s first major snowstorm of the season has forced Yonkers Raceway to cancel its racing program for Thursday (Feb. 9).

It’s the first cancelation of the season.

Evening simulcasting has also been canceled, taking the lead from their afternoon mates, scrapped after Aqueduct called off its program.

Live racing (first post 7:10 p.m.) and all simulcasting are scheduled to resume Friday (Feb. 10).
