‘Saturday Night At The Races’ Returns

Yonkers Raceway’s $300,000 Art Rooney Pace will ‎highlight the seasonal debut of the ‘Saturday Night at the Races’ series, which airs on Sirius XM Channel 92.

The program airs from 9:30 - 11 p.m. and features major harness stakes from across North America. The show is co-hosted by Mike Curci and ‎Peter Kleinhans. The approximate post time for the ‘Rooney’ is at 8:15 p.m. (the race will air on tape delay).

The 25th Rooney, for three-year-old colts and geldings, is led by elimination winners In The Arsenal and Sonofa Sizzle. The $117,724 Lismore, the companion feature for sophomore fillies, will also be included in the broadcast.

The Rooney remembers the family patriarch and late Pittsburgh Steelers founder Art Rooney, Sr. The family has owned Yonkers Raceway since 1972. Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway is a sponsor of Saturday Night at the Races. Other Yonkers stakes races will be featured on the program during the season.
