Yonkers’ season-high handle Tuesday night

Yonkers, NY — Yonkers Raceway’s Tuesday evening (March 3) program produced not only a season-high handle total, but the largest Tuesday figure in recent memory.

The dozen races saw $1,091,119 wagered, including the largest on-track count of the season.

While Tuesday represented a 2020 standard, it was by no means an isolated occurrence. The past few handle figures were Tuesday (March 3) — $1,091,119; Monday (March 2) — $931,276; Saturday (Feb. 29) — $814,092; and Friday (Feb. 28) — $994,517 for a four-program total of $3,831,004 (avg. $957,751).

The Raceway’s five-program-per-week schedule continues, with first post every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:05 p.m.

March is flush with series competition, including M Life Rewards Ladies (Mondays), Gents (Tuesdays), Blue Chip Matchmaker (Fridays, beginning March 13) and MGM Borgata Pacing Series (formerly George Morton Levy Memorial, Saturdays, beginning March 14).
