The connections of 13 three-year-old male pacers have entered their charges to contest the 25th edition of Yonkers Raceway’s Art Rooney Pace.

The number of entries has necessitated a pair of $40,000 elimination races, which will be contested this Saturday night (May 23).

The top four finishers in each elimination will advance to the $300,000 final, which will take place on Saturday, May 30.

The post positions for each elimination appear below.

The companion event for the ‘Rooney,’ the 11th Lismore Pace for sophomore pacing fillies, has attracted a half-dozen entrants, thus elimination races are not necessary. The race will carry a purse of $117,724 and will head straight to final on Saturday, May 30.
