YONKERS, NY, Tuesday, August 29, 2017 – It would not be a harness racing Yonkers Raceway stakes program without the freebie…or freebies.

Saturday night's (Sept. 2nd) dozen-race card, worth just under $1.5 million, is highlighted by a pair of half-million-dollar Triple Crown numbers, the 63rd Yonkers Trot and Messenger Stakes No. 62.

If that's that not enough, there's the fashionable T-shirt giveaway and a free wager.

The first 3,000 Empire Club members can stop by the promotions booth beginning at 4 PM to pick up their shirts (again, it's while supplies last and one per member, please). The first 500 EC members who visit the booth starting at 4 PM also receive a pre-printed, Yonkers Trot, two-horse, $2 exacta box ticket.

The Messenger and Yonkers Trot go as races 4 and 5, respectively. First post is the usual 7:10 PM.
