A total of fourteen three-year-olds, including one filly, have entered the 55th edition of the Yonkers Trot
. The total purse for the Yonkers Raceway's marquee trotting event is $750,774.
The Trot's companion race, the Hudson Filly Trot, attracted 11 lasses for a total purse of $367,985.
The number of entrants necessitated a pair of elimination races for each stake this Saturday night, worth $40,000 (Yonkers) and $20,000 (Hudson) per division. The first four finishers in those tilts qualify for their respective finals on Saturday, August 29.
