Fields drawn for Friday’s New York Night of Champions at Yonkers

At 0h04, on September 7, 2021 By YONKERS

The best 2- and 3-year-old trotters and pacers in the Empire State will converge on Yonkers Raceway on Friday night (Sept. 10) for the New York Night of Champions. The 10-race program features eight $200,000 New York Sire Stakes finals in races two through nine.

Two-year-old trotting filly Joviality S was undefeated in the sire stakes program this year but will have to overcome post position eight to take home the crown. Bomb Hugger (post six) started three-for-three in the sire stakes but will need to rebound after making a break at Yonkers on August 19.

The undefeated Chapter Seven colt Justice landed post four in the 2-year-old colt and gelding trot final. Justice will renew acquaintances with Cool Papa Bell (post five) after just a head separated those two at Saratoga on August 23.

First race post time on Friday night at Yonkers is 7:15 p.m.
