yonkers cancelled after 1 race due to frozen track condition.
-
FROZEN. Its 15 degrees colder in Monticello. Woodbine its 20 degrees colder. Poor excuse!!! Get a REAL TRACK SUPERINTENDENT!!!!!!
-
Wow--went to have a wager--races called off because of track conditions.
Same incompetent track person-strikes again.How hes allowed on the track is unbelievable.
I just spoke to couple old horsemen-all said this level of cancellations AFTER everyone has received Lasix and arrived at the track is unprecedented.Nev er happened at this rate--ever in the History of Yonkers. SAD
In their opinion ALL judges need to be fired and owners compensated for losses.
1)Judges get paid- when races are cancelled after the first race.They have 0 interest in making sure track is suitable for racing after 11 am in AM because by clamming up-they OK racing when they should not--and they get paid.
2)the security and guards get paid
3) the Lasix Vet gets ALL races done at 20$ a pop.
4) grooms paid-despite not working at the track.
Who loses money?--the OWNERS-same people who support all the racing.Truck use,gas used,tolls,grooms paid, training fees paid for 2 weeks no racing,lasix paid even though no racing etc etc.
Yonkers has this backwards-and needs to stop--I see a lawsuit coming on.

its a couple of drivers that make the decision to cancel,
-
if george breenan dont wanna race ,they cancel
-
Didn't they just shut down for a while and re-do the track? Simply Put:
THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN SO OFTEN. Someone has a job that they are not qualified to have. Or maybe don't care
-
when batavia cancelled their closing night due to high winds they paid out all the purse money splitting it up evenly to all horses in each race.
-
and if a horse or driver gets killed?
if people start claiming track conditions aren't safe, the track's hands are tied
-
Close it .....
-
if george breenan dont wanna race ,they cancel
GEORGE USES THE OUTRIDER'S SERVICES EVERY RACE WHILE THE OTHER DRIVERS GO AROUND IN CIRCLES, IT SEEMS LIKE HE IS PRIVILEGED
-
With all those funds you are stuffing into your pockets, why doesn't the NY Whorsemen's "ASS"ociation spend some money for track maintenance at Yawnkers. That way the NY Whorsemen's "ASS"ociation could sue themselves for racing on an unsafe track 11.wp 11.wp

Close it....it is a waste ...total nonsense

I don’t understand.. If Buffalo Raceway is able to race all winter with all the crappy weather conditions they have up in western Ny , I’m sure Yonkers could figure it out if they really wanted to.. Shoot, I don’t recall Roosevelt or Yonkers cancelling back in the day.. Horseman are really getting screwed over..
-
Absolutely, Empire. I recall many snow storms and racing was not canceled @ RR or Yonkers. It is all about the will and commitment or lack of, from management.

ADD ANOTHER CANCELLED DAY FOR THE YONKER
We got freezing rain here in lower Hudson valley. Good call probably..
-
Couldnt get my horse to M1 from Orange county.
But when did Yonkers announce? It looks as if they ran one qualifier before cancelling?
-
Surprised Yonkers is racing tonight
-
Dowse for the Hall of Fame!

Probably flipping a coin to decide if they should cancel or not.
-
Came up CANCEL. They apologize. How can the track be rated fast but it is unsafe to race?
-
Yonkers managed to run one race tonite till they cancelled due to unsafe track conditions.

Come to Monticello boys.. Fresh air, year long racing with minimal cancellations!! Purses may not be what ur used to at Bonkers but after awhile you will adjust..
-
This is a joke. They spent a bunch of money to redo the track. Horsemen all ship in, lasix given, then cancel? Shut it down if they can’t run it better than this.
-
What is the real reason Yonkers can't keep the track up and running? Tracks in cold weather states seem to be keeping their tracks open. What's the difference between Monticello, Northfield Park, The Meadows, Miami Valley Raceway, The Meadowlands, compared to Yonkers ??????? Why can't Yonkers race tonight and the others are racing today and tonight ???????? I don't understand.

Mr Dadoyan you’re the director of racing at Yonkers raceway. It’s obvious that there’s a major problem with the track surface at Yonkers. Before any horses or drivers suffer a bad injury or worse , it’s seems obvious that Yonkers racing surface needs to be totally resurfaced. Racing conditions are not safe at Yonkers , it’s that simple.

just ask joe faraldo

I don’t believe Mr Dadoyan reads the Plop!!

Close the track....this is a joke

this is what they really want

THE ONLY THING ALEX DADOYAN DOES IS FOLLOW JENN AROUND LIKE A SICK PUPPY.

Since MGM took it over they don't care about the horses anymore at all.There too much money involved now with sports betting and wanting a full blown casino.You talking billions of dollars in NY market the only thing they want to do to the track is make it a stadium so they can have concerts and other crap there.
-
And, this is news? Everyone knows the days of Yonkers hosting live racing are numbered. A couple weeks from now, all will be good and back to normal at Yonkers. That is until the state awards MGM Yonkers a full casino license.
Oh, there is that bill in this Legislative session looking to claw back the slot revenue. Looks like it is gaining traction.

Joe Faraldo is a moron double agent idiot who cannot be humbled. He bragged about overseeing the track work with Jimmy Marohn as a consultant despite the fact that Jimmy Marohn has no credentials in road construction or engineering. Faraldo made the horsemen think he was out for their interests. The truth is that he is out for himself and he will stoop to any low to stay connected to MGM but making the horsemen think he is for them. Eventually MGM s going to say "Get the fuck out and take Faraldo with you cause racing is over". Faraldo will then figure out a way to make money off of that. In my opinion, MGM despises Faraldo and they take it out on the racing end of their empire. Get rid of Faraldo and maybe the track will be fixed. My best suggestion is that the track gets shut down totally. The entire industry is a humiliation now anyway.
-
THE FINE PEOPLE FROM MGM ALSO OPERATE NORTHFIELD PARK AND WE HAVE NO ISSUES WITH THEM AT ALL.
SO I ASSUME THAT ALL THIS STUFF FROM YONKER IS PURELY SHIT BEING CAUSED BY THE HORSEMEN THEMSELVES.
MGM HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT THE BEST OPERATORS ANYONE COULD AXE FOR
YONKER HORSEMEN, THOSE GREEDY BASTARDS, SHOULD BE WILLING TO GET THEIR COLORS DIRTY AND QUIT CRYING LIKE THE LITTLE PRIMA DONNAS THEY THINK THEY ARE
RIGHT MR BRENNAN?

It was Faraldo that got the first and most recent contracts for horsemen. Back in 2007, when he said the open will race for $50,000 a week, everyone said he was delusional. Faraldo may be difficult to accept but, make no mistakes, the horsemen have benefited from his actions, immensely.
