Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted January 28, 2022 Journalists Posted January 28, 2022 Edited Press Release The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) has canceled Saturday's live racing program at Aqueduct Racetrack due to a powerful winter storm forecast to impact the New York City metropolitan area. A National Weather Service (NWS) winter storm warning goes into effect for the downstate region at 7:00 p.m. Friday and continues through 7:00 p.m. Saturday. The NWS forecast, which aligns with NYRA's independent weather services, is calling for 8-12 inches of snow along with sustained high winds with gusts exceeding 45 mph. These conditions will produce dangerously low wind chill values on Saturday. As a result, NYRA has canceled Saturday's card in the interest of the safety of all participants. Saturday's featured GIII Toboggan S. will be re-scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 5. A decision regarding opening Aqueduct Racetrack for simulcasting will be made on Saturday morning. Live racing at Aqueduct will resume on Sunday, Jan. 30 with a nine-race card featuring the $100,000 Jimmy Winkfield S. First post on Sunday is 12:20 p.m. Eastern.
