Weather Woes Continue as Aqueduct Weekend Racing Cancelled

[Wandering Eyes]

With drastic winter weather–arctic temperatures and extremely low wind chill values, according to the New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA)-continuing to plague much of the country, NYRA has cancelled live racing Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 31-Feb. 1 at Aqueduct Racetrack. Racing has not been held at Aqueduct since Jan. 23. The 24th, 28th, and 29th were all originally carded but had to be cancelled due to the frigid temperatures.

NYRA is working with the New York Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association (NYTHA) and New York Thoroughbred Breeders, Inc. (NYTB) to schedule and apply for added race days. NYRA will also release a new schedule for stakes races impacted by the weather cancellations, as well as a modified condition book.

Aqueduct will be open for simulcasting both Saturday and Sunday.
