Yonkers Raceway has announced that there are some changes for its final ‘New York, New York Double’ wager of the year, which will take place this coming Sunday (December 18).
Aqueduct has moved its first post up an hour, to 11:20 a.m., to accommodate more races. Thus, the third race – first half of the gimmick double – will now go off at roughly 12:20 p.m., instead of the originally-scheduled 1:18 p.m.
Yonkers’ season-ending first post remains at 1 p.m. sharp, and the track’s second race – which will be the second half of the wager – will head to post at roughly 1:30 p.m., as planned.
Past performance pages for these races shall again be made available in all corresponding on-track and simulcast programs. The ‘New York, New York Double,’ also available through Empire City Bets, is a one dollar minimum wager and an 18.5 per cent takeout rate.
With Aqueduct having moved up the start of its Sunday program, Yonkers’ mutuel windows shall now open at 10:30 a.m.
