They cancelled a week ago when the first mention of a possible storm hit the airwaves.

Hi All , track guy sucks all farms are good and this guy from goshen is horrible. Canceled tonight
NEW track man required at Yonkers.
The ones there now obviously cant do their job and are terrible at it. Track has been horrible all year. Ask the drivers--even on special nights-track terrible.
Broken bones,sore horses-common.If they took care of the track better horses will come-Ive heard a  top trainers talk and say they wouldn't race their best horses there as track not good enough.

That's what happens when injured horses race on pain killers. Don't blame the track.

Can’t put all the blame on track guys. Equipment is horrible grader broke while clearing snow. Rigged it back together but couldn’t get the job done properly with crap equipment

Instead of blame, here's some facts. Whoever called the shots, they didn't even begin to clear the snow until Friday. Rule #1 known by any trackman with 10% of a clue knows you get the snow off before it starts to melt and gets down to the surface or worse, into the base. Strike one. Secondly, their new trackman when hired by Historic Track only experience with horses was with hunter/jumpers, had ZERO experience with Standardbreds and even less when it comes to maintaining a training/racetrack. Yet, ran around on a golf cart for a few years telling people how brilliant he is. Let's just say since he's officially on as new trackman at YR, three cards slated and three cards canceled. Let's hope he doesn't go 4 for 4. Facts.
