The 2024 live racing season at MGM Yonkers Raceway is set to begin on Monday (Jan. 22) with an 11-race program.

Covered Bridge is coming off a victory in the Preferred at Woodbine Mohawk Park in his last start, and he earned over $528,000 in 2023.

To start the 240 race date calendar, MGM Yonkers Raceway will operate on a Monday through Friday schedule with post time at 7 p.m. (eastern) but will switch to a Monday-Tuesday-Thursday-Friday-Saturday slate beginning the week of April 29. The Monday-Friday docket resumes the week of Sept. 30.
