Officials at the New York Racing Association (NYRA) were forced to call off the final four races on Saturday's New Year's Eve program, the result of heavy fog that rolled into the greater New York metropolitan area during the early afternoon hours that caused dangerously low visibility levels.
Per the rules of the New York Gaming Commission, the Pick 6 pool, featuring a carryover of $22,611, will be refunded. The wager and carryover will return on Sunday's card, beginning with race four, with a mandatory payout.
Saturday's featured $150,000 Queens County S. will be brought back as part of the program next Saturday, Jan. 7.
Aqueduct was to remain open for simulcasting from around the country. Sunday's New Year's Day card is highlighted by the $150,000 Ladies S. that is carded as race three. First post is 12:20 p.m. ET.
