Yonkers International To Air On SNY

If you can’t find a seat at the track, find one in front of the TV.

Saturday afternoon’s (October 14) million-dollar Yonkers International Trot at Empire City Casino shall be broadcast by SportsNet New York (SNY).

The television home of the New York Mets is also the home of the 39th edition of the trotting classic, picking up the Raceway’s simulcast show from 3:30-4:15 p.m. Eastern. Prior to the International (race nine, post time 4:00 p.m.), fans can watch the $250,000 Harry Harvey Invitational Trot (race eight, post time just after 3:30 p.m.).
Both races feature 10 trotters at the mile-and-a-quarter distance.

The 45-minute broadcast offers the insights of the author and Standardbred Owners Association of New York Vice President Peter Venaglia, while Empire City’s Clare Galterio goes behind the scenes with some of the International Trot participants.

First post for Yonkers’ 11-race, all-stakes, $3.3 million (a New York harness record) program is 1:00 p.m. The card also includes the $1.8 million New York Day of Champions and a pair of $250,000 Invitationals, the Harry Harvey Trot and Dan Rooney Pace (race seven).
