Yonkers, NY — A reminder regarding Yonkers Raceway’s matinee sojourn this Sunday (July 30), with an 11:30 a.m. first post. It’s the third of eight consecutive Sundays.

It’s a dozen-race card, with races five (post time 12:50 p.m.) through eight (2:20 p.m.) of the ‘French’ theme, as in overflow fields at the mile and one-quarter distance. The $68,000 Open Handicap goes as the fifth race, with last week’s blowout winner, Homicide Hunter (Brian Sears, post eight), leading a 12-horse ensemble.

August Sunday post times are (tentatively) listed at 12:30 p.m. (updates if/when necessary).

The ‘New York, New York Double’ is also back this Sunday, including Saratoga’s third race (post time 2:07 p.m.) and Yonkers’ 10th race (post time 3 p.m.). Program pages are available at this link.

Final post for Sunday is scheduled for 3:40 p.m.
