Nine International Trot Starters Confirmed
It wouldn’t be an International Trot at Yonkers Raceway without international trotters, now would it?
Officials with Yonkers Raceway announced last month that the connections of Bee A Magician and Magic Tonight have confirmed that their stars will compete in the stakes tilt
On Wednesday (September 16), Yonkers also announced that the connections of seven other international horses have confirmed that their charges will be entered to contest the $1 million International Trot, which will head postward on the afternoon of Saturday, October 10.
The names of the horses, which have been listed alphabetically, appear below.
BBS Sugarlight (from Norway)
Oasis Bi (Italy)
On Track Piraten (Sweden)
Papagayo E (Norway)
Rod Stewart (Italy)
Seabiscuit (Finland)
Timoko (France)
The seven horses are scheduled to depart for New York on Wednesday, September 30.
The track has stated that other invitees are to be determined based on this weekend’s racing, including, but not limited to, Mohawk Racetrack’s Maple Leaf Trot.
Track officials are planning for the October 10 race of racing to get underway at 2 p.m., and have said that the International Trot is expected to have an approximate post time of 3:20 p.m.
