[Wandering Eyes]

The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) moved Saturday's GI Saratoga Derby Invitational [Race 7] and the GII Troy Stakes [Race 10] due to heavy overnight rainfall and will shift the races to Saturday, Aug. 10, the track said in a release Saturday morning.

All of Saturday's remaining turf races [Race 1, Race 4, Race 9, Race 13] have been moved off the turf.

Updated post times for Saturday's now 11-race card, which kicks off at 12:05 p.m. ET., are:

Race 2 [12:45 p.m.], Race 3 [1:25 p.m.], Race 4 [2:05 p.m.], Race 5 [2:45 p.m.], Race 6 [3:25 p.m.], Race 7 [canceled], Race 8 [4:08 p.m.], Race 9 [4:52 p.m., Fasig-Tipton Lure], Race 10 [canceled], Race 11 [5:42 p.m.], Race 12 [6:17 p.m.] and Race 13 [6:50 p.m.].

Any multi-race wagers that include Race 7 and Race 10 have been canceled and will be refunded.

The two-day All Turf Pick 5, which kicked off Friday with the GII Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Oaks Invitational and GII National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame Stakes, will pay out to 'all' for the final three legs: the Saratoga Derby Invitational [Race 7], Fasig-Tipton Lure [Race 9], and Troy [Race 10].

The graded races that were cancelled Saturday will join an Aug. 10 card that includes the GI FanDuel Fourstardave Stakes, a “Win and You're In” qualifier for the GI Breeders' Cup Mile; as well as the GII Saratoga Special and the Galway Stakes.
