Yonkers: 234 racing dates scheduled for 2019

Yonkers Raceway announced on Thursday (12/6) a 234-program racing schedule for 2019 that features five nights of racing nearly every week of the year.

Yonkers will race regularly on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The track will no longer offer Sunday matinee cards in 2019, likely meaning the end of commingled simulcasting with the French PMU.

Yonkers will close for 2018 after the Sunday, December 16 card and reopen on Monday, January 7. Post time will remain at 6:50 p.m. next year. Additional highlights are as follows:

--no live racing Friday, Oct. 11^th, with International Trot matinee Saturday, Oct. 12^th (post time TBA)

--the track will go on a hiatus from May 26^th through June 6^th, inclusive

--five-night-per-week schedule returns Friday, June 7^th through final day of season, Tuesday, Dec. 17^th

--no live racing Thursday through Saturday, Nov. 28^th, 29^th and 30^th

--all dates are subject to New York Gaming Commission approval
