Yonkers Raceway’s $1-million International Trot is just nine days away, and the seven European entrants – plus the returning Creatine – have landed, with nary a word about the in-flight movie.

The octet touched down at JFK Airport bright and early on Thursday morning (October 1), complete with pomp, circumstance and Yonkers Raceway’s crack photographers there to capture the moment.

The arrivals (alphabetically) with ‘home’ countries, were:

• BBS Sugarlight (Norway)
• Creatine (United States)
• Mosaique Face (Sweden)
• Oasis Bi (Italy)
• On Track Piraten (Sweden)
• Papagayo E (Norway)
• Rod Stewart (Italy)
• Timoko (France).

After landing, the gang was then whisked away to Newburgh, New York for two days of quarantine.

The International Trot is part of a Saturday, October 10 matinee program. The card will have a 2 p.m. first-race post time, and the race itself is scheduled to head to post at approximately 3:10 p.m. The race will be drawn during the afternoon of Tuesday, October 6.
