Yonkers: Two stakes and purse increase coming soon

MGM Yonkers is pleased to announce that two Stakes races will be added to the racing calendar in November at Yonkers Raceway.

On November 28, 2020 there will be a $125,000 Invitational Pace for horses that were eligible to the Borgata Pacing Series and a $100,000 Invitational Mares Pace for horses that were eligible to the Blue Chip Matchmaker Series.

These stakes along with several others were unfortunately canceled earlier in the year due to the pandemic and closure of the racetrack and casino.

The Yonkers Raceway Race Office will be contacting eligible participants shortly.

MGM Yonkers is also pleased to announce a 10 percent purse increase across the board for all classes. This increase will take effect for racing the week of November 9.
