Asking. Requesting. Begging. Cajoling. Whichever of the terms work for you, Yonkers Raceway is offering a friendly reminder that they’re closing in on closing dates for various events.

Tomorrow (Monday, Feb. 1) is the deadline for the Petticoat (girls) and Sagamore Hill (boys) Pacing Series, each for limited-resume three and four-year-olds (non-winners of the four races and/or $40,000 through this past Dec. 1).

After that, closing dates (in chronological order) are:

• Feb. 15 – Yonkers Raceway/SOA of New York Bonus Trotting Series
• Mar. 1 – Blue Chip Matchmaker / George Morton Levy Memorial Pacing Series
• Apr. 1 – Lawrence B. Sheppard Pace (two-year-old colts/geldings)
• Apr. 15 – Jackpot Next Door Claiming Series

Nomination forms, which can be viewed at the above links, are also available at yonkersraceway.com and in the nightly racing program. For more information, please contact the race office at (914) 457-2627.
