With temperatures right around the freezing mark, the races that were contested had a backdrop of a cold rain, which made the racing surface quite slippery. There was a delay after the sixth race for track maintenance. However, after the seventh race had a breaker impeding several horses, the horsemen deemed the track "unplayable" and races 8 through 12 were scrapped. Live racing is scheduled to resume Tuesday afternoon (Feb. 16), with a "French-centric" trot-filled card and a first post of 1 PM. The shortening of Monday's card led to a pair of incomplete multi-race wagers, whose payouts were- second Pick 4 (races 5 through 8) --numbers 1/3/1/ALL-$105.50. - all wagers refunded ($10,000 guaranteed pool returns next Monday, 2/22). -30- (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 |
