Live racing and simulcasting has been canceled at Aqueduct Friday due to a winter storm impacting the New York Metropolitan area, according to a press release from the New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA). Snow was falling heavily in the area Friday morning, and up to six inches of snow is expected.
New York City remains under a winter weather advisory, with the National Weather Service forecasting continued high winds and heavy snow into Friday afternoon. “As a result, NYRA has canceled Friday's eight-race card in the interest of the safety of all participants,” the release said.
Live racing at Aqueduct is expected to resume Saturday, Jan. 8 with a nine-race card headlined by the $100,000 Say Florida Sandy. First post on Saturday is 12:20 p.m. Eastern.
