The raceway’s two signature stakes races for three-year-old trotters and pacers – the Yonkers Tro and Messenger Stakes – will be contested on Saturday night, Sept. 2. A pair of promotions center around those Triple Crown events, the t-shirt giveaway and a free wager on the Yonkers Trot, which includes two-horse exacta box. Since there’s still plenty of barbecuing to do, the casino is giving away a nifty, three-piece BBQ set with the Empire City logo on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 4. While at the casino, attendees can take a chance on the record-breaking $2 million jackpot currently available only at Empire City Casino on the IGT Wheel of Fortune Triple Stars slot machine in the Gotham Palace.

The Yonkers Trot/Messenger Stakes t-shirt give away will be on Saturday, Sept. 2. The first 3,000 Empire Club Members to visit the promotions booth beginning at 4 p.m. will receive a free Yonkers Trot/Messengers Stakes t-Shirt, while supplies last.

The Yonkers Trot free exacta wager will be on Saturday, Sept 2.

The first 500 Empire Club Members to visit the promotions booth beginning at 4 p.m. will receive one two-horse exacta box for the Yonkers Trot. This is limited to the first 500 Empire Club Members, and one race ticket per Empire Club Member, while supplies last.

The Labor Day BBQ set giveaway is on Monday, Sept. 4. The first 3,000 Empire Club Members to visit the promotions booth beginning at 10 a.m. will receive a free gift, a three-piece BBQ Tool Set with the Empire City logo on each handle, while supplies last.
