    • The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) has canceled Saturday's live racing program at Aqueduct Racetrack due to arctic temperatures and sub-zero wind chill values forecast to impact the metropolitan area throughout the day, the association said in a press release on Friday morning. As previously reported, NYRA has also shifted Sunday's live racing program to Wednesday due to a powerful winter storm expected to bring heavy snowfall to the region. Saturday's featured Interborough Stakes will be brought back for Friday, Feb. 6, with entries to be taken on Saturday, Jan. 31. The Big A will remain open for simulcasting on Saturday but closed to the public on Sunday.

    • Sunday, Sha Tin, Hong Kong, post time: 15:00, CENTENARY SPRINT CUP-G1, HK$13,000,000, 3yo/up, 1200mT Field: Ka Ying Rising (NZ) (Shamexpress {NZ}), Helios Express (Aus) (Toronado {Ire}), Fast Network (NZ) (Wrote {Ire}), Raging Blizzard (NZ) (Per Incanto), Tomodachi Kokoroe (Aus) (Written Tycoon {Aus}), Beauty Waves (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Lucky With You (Aus) (Artie Schiller). TDN Analysis: Ka Ying Rising will attempt to make history and equal Hong Kong legend Silent Witness's record of 17 wins in a row by a Hong Kong-trained horse. A surprise here is not impossible, but Helios Express needs to find 12 pounds via international ratings. Sunday, Sha Tin, Hong Kong, post time: 16:05, STEWARDS' CUP-G1, HK$13,000,000, 3yo/up, 1600mT Field: Romantic Warrior (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}), Voyage Bubble (Aus) (Deep Field {Aus}), Lucky Sweynesse (NZ) (Sweynesse {Aus}), Beauty Joy (Aus) (Sebring {Aus}), Red Lion (Ire) (Belardo {Ire}), Galaxy Patch (Aus) (Wandjina {Aus}), Straight Arron (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), My Wish (Aus) (Flying Artie {Aus}), Sunlight Power (Aus) (Capitalist {Aus}). TDN Analysis: It is difficult to look beyond Hong Kong heavyweights Romantic Warrior and Voyage Bubble in Sunday's Stewards' Cup. The former holds top-level form in four countries and is running in his first 1600-metre race since claiming Japan's G1 Yasuda Kinen in 2024. The latter has won two editions of the Stewards' Cup in 2024/2025. Click here for the complete fields.

    • Racing Welfare has called on the racing industry to get behind two major fundraising events for 2026.  The Racing Welfare Brecon Beacons 10 Peaks Challenge and the return of Racing Come Dancing at Epsom Racecourse offer two very different routes to getting involved, but both ask the same question. Could you take on a challenge that pushes you, connects you to others and helps fund vital support across racing?  Together, these flagship events play a critical role in enabling Racing Welfare to deliver its services. The charity is not government funded and requires around £3 million each year to support people  working in racing through mental health challenges, injury, illness, housing pressures and financial  difficulty. Last year, these events combined raised more than £200,000. In 2026, the aim is to raise even more.  The first challenge takes place on Sunday 5 July with the Racing Welfare Brecon Beacons 10 Peaks Challenge. Set in the Brecon Beacons, participants will cover 22 miles, summit 10 peaks all in a single day. Racing Come Dancing takes place on Sunday, November 8, and National Hunt trainer Dan Skelton has urged people to get involved after taking part in the first edition of the event.  He said, “Grace [wife] and I were absolutely delighted to be on the first edition of Racing Come Dancing. It took a bit of commitment, but it was great fun and completely worth it. To get the chance to learn to dance, performing on the night and helping raise so much money made it an unforgettable experience. We had lots of friends there who had a fantastic night out. I couldn't recommend it highly enough. If you can do it, do it!” The post Racing Welfare Calls On Industry To Support Two Major Fundraising Events  appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • The first foals by Tally-Ho Stud's Group 1-winning sprinter Big Evs have hit the ground. A colt out of the Group-placed Shelton (Mehmas) and a filly out of Tuileries Garden (Champs Elysees) were born at the County Westmeath stud in recent days.  Tally-Ho Stud commented, “These foals out of Tuileries Garden and Shelton are just two examples of the kind of quality we're seeing so far from the first crop of Big Evs.” Big Evs was a razor-sharp sprinter for Mick Appleby. He won six of his 11 starts, with his career highlight coming in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint. He stands for €15,000.
