Yonkers increases purses

 Return Home
January 31, 2007 Send To A Friend  | Print View

Yonkers Raceway has announced a purse increase effective Monday, Feb. 5, with the rise being across the board except for the bottom-level claimers and conditioned horses.

The trio of weekly Open Handicaps--for trotters, pacers and distaff pacers--will now race for $35,000, a $10,000 jump. When Yonkers closed in June 2005 to prepare for the video gaming machines the races went for $15,000 each.

The purses from the various high-conditioned classes (claimers, high non-winners and winners-over) shall be worth anywhere from $12,000 to $30,000.

"We are very pleased to offer yet another purse increase," general manager Bob Galterio said in a press release. "We believe the improved quality of our overnight racing, plus the beginning of the stakes schedule, gives Yonkers one of the finest harness products around."
