would it have killed them to make the increase across the board?

Yonkers, NY – Beginning with the condition sheet for Monday, June 8, purses for most races at MGM Yonkers Raceway will increase by 10 percent. For example, this purse hike will see the Invitationals go for $43,000 and the Opens for New York-bred 4- and 5-year-olds at $37,000.

The classes that will not see a bump include non-winners of $5,000 in their last five starts, $15,000 claimers and amateur trot events.

   Harness racing is thriving!   

I couldn't agree more!

Oak Grove, KY – The record-breaking season of harness racing at Oak Grove just recently passed the halfway point of the 2026 meet and the Southwest Kentucky track continues to show tremendous year-over-year gains in handle.

With Monday’s (May 25) Memorial Day card run alongside many special days of racing from major Thoroughbred outlets, Oak Grove successfully stayed within the shuffle of horseplayers’ action and posted nearly double the handle year-over-year compared to the 2025 Memorial Day card.

Tuesday’s (May 26) 14-race card similarly showed year-over-year gains with nearly 50 percent more bet compared to the same card from 2025. Oak Grove’s handle remains up roughly 28 percent year-over-year past the midpoint of the meet and up 20 percent when exempting the additional day of racing this year for the inaugural Oak Grove Trotting Derby and Oak Grove Trotting Oaks.

it's amazing these dummies on here that don't realize how well harness racing is doing in certain areas. Yonkers- Pocono now this great news thank you!
