Yonkers, NY — Yonkers Raceway is about to become busier than usual, with 28 programs over a period of five weeks.

Beginning Friday night (Feb. 26), Yonkers hosts its usual schedule of Monday, Friday, and Saturday evenings (first post 7:10 p.m. and Tuesday (1 p.m.) matinees.

Throw in the return of Thursday nights (7:10 p.m.) in March and a trio of “French” Sunday matinees (Feb. 28, March 13 and 20), and you get the rather hectic workload.

Note that this Sunday‘s first post has been reset to 12:30 p.m., while the March Sundays are, as of this writing, set to begin at 1:10 p.m. (this is subject to change).

Also be advised that Tuesday (March 1) is the closing date for nominations to the Blue Chip Matchmaker and George Morton Levy Memorial Pacing Series.
