Pending approval from the New York State Gaming Commission (NYSGC), the change is scheduled to take effect when Yonkers begins its 2018 racing season on Sunday, Jan. 7. Haughton was recently appointed last month as the director of racing at Yonkers (full story here), and one of his primary responsibilities is to improve handle. Haughton said Thursday regarding the removal of the passing lane, ?We?re going back to basics? These guys (drivers) are going to pull. They?re not going to sit in there and wait for the passing lane and go on through.? The decision to get rid of the passing lane at Yonkers seems to be more well received than not in the usual social media circles. But the question becomes, will doing away with the passing lane improve the Yonkers product and in turn, the tracks handle? By any objective account, the style of racing at Yonkers leaves much to be desired.

Why the disparity in racing styles between lane in harness racing to begin with. Bettors became tired of tracks with similar make-ups? seeing their horses full of pace or trot not be able to go The answer in my estimation is the inflated purses that anywhere in the stretch because of being locked in with no drivers race for nightly at Yonkers (although Northfield now chance of going anywhere. has slots, its purses are still dwarfed by that of Yonkers). Why To accommodate for this, tracks began adding passing would drivers possibly want to be extra aggressive at lanes to give more horses chances at winning. Horses that Yonkers if racing in a N/W4 condition for $14,000 when they would have been locked in through the stretch otherwise, can continue to collect checks for finishing second through some would now have openings and a chance to compete. fifth and then do the same thing week after week in the Simply put, the passing lane was put into place to give as same class. many horses as possible at least a fighting chance to win.

But what about those ?precious four deep on the rail but is overloaded, he should be given a millennials? that everyone is trying to cater to these days. chance to race somewhere in the stretch.

Is creating unpredictability really the passing lane came to exist in the first place. something that is going to inspire handicappers to bet more? And even if that were the case, why are the payouts at the Delaware County Fair always miniscule? It?s because those horses with inside posts are at an even more advantageous position, making things seem more predictable than ever. It all seems counter intuitive to me.
