SOA of NY, MGM Yonkers agree to One-Month Extension of Horsemen's Agreement

• June 23, 2025

CORRECTION - IMPORTANT UPDATE:

We are pleased to report that the SOA of New York and MGM Yonkers have agreed to a one-month extension of the current Horsemen's Agreement that was to expire on June 30th. This will allow the parties the time necessary to negotiate a comprehensive, long-term Horsemen's Agreement.


The Gaming Commission, which has the sole power to award race dates, has not awarded race dates for July as of this time. An earlier post had incorrectly indicated that race dates had been awarded.
