May 2013 Updates
These updates were done by Empire City Casino in the hopes of giving viewers a useful and informative entry about Yonkers Raceway. The previous page had little information and was outdated. We are aware of the conflict of interest in editing the wikipedia page; however we tried our best to remain informative rather than promotional. Feel free to add and edit the article as you see fit.

POV Check
Not sure if a sentence regarding the "pungent scent of horse manure" should be included in the article. Sounds biased to me. JRHorse 05:21, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Well, as a Yonkers resident, I can assure you there is a pungent scent, but it is only on certain days, usually on muggy summer days. So, it may be true, but like you said, it is a POV issue as well as not being entirely true Trendon 16:18, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
- OK I've made several edits/updates to the page and removed the POV check. JRHorse 23:34, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Yonkers Raceway logo
I would beg to differ on the green Yonkers Raceway logo shown at the top of the page, seeing that all of Yonkers Raceway's advertisments in newspapers and billboards now use the new Empire City logo... the new logo is even used on the backstretch walls of the racing oval itself.

Year is missing in one sentence.
This sentence lacks the year number for dates of November 10 and 17:
On November 10, the state board, confident that all outstanding safety issues would be addressed, issued Yonkers a racing license[4] , and racing officially resumed on November 17.
