MOTHER NATURE GONE, MEANING YONKERS BACK TO BUSINESS AS USUALMOTHER NATURE GONE, MEANING YONKERS BACK TO BUSINESS AS USUALBY FRANK DRUCKER, Publicity Director, Empire City @ Yonkers Raceway YONKERS, NY, Monday, January 25, 2016-After the Northeast's initial snowstorm of the season left a lovely 20 1/2 inches in beautiful, downtown Yonkers over the weekend, Yonkers Raceway was back it Monday night.  Saturday's first-of-the-season cancellation turned out to be a one-hit wonder, as track superintendent Ed Ryan and his posse worked tirelessly Sunday into Monday to get the field in game shape. Monday night's dozen-race program-with guest announcer Peter Kleinhans doing for the honors for an under-the-weather John Hernan-went off without a hitch.  Favored Siloutte (Dan Dube, $4.20) enjoyed the track crew's work enough to turn in a life-best 1:55.2 effort in the $15,000, third-race pace. The Raceway's season continues Tuesday afternoon (first post 1 PM), then Thursday, Friday and Saturday (7:10 PM each evening) -30- (photos by Mike Lizzi) (FFI…Frank Drucker, Yonkers Raceway Publicity Director, 914-968-4200) Frank Drucker Director of Publicity 810 Yonkers Avenue Yonkers, NY 10704 Phone: (914) 457-2432 E-mail: FDrucker@YonkersRaceway.com  Â Â Â Â News Archives |
