New York Oaks Rescheduled for Sept. 11

The $75,000 New York Oaks, a race for 3-year-old New York-bred fillies at Finger Lakes, has been rescheduled for Sept. 11. The race has twice failed to fill when entries were taken for the original date of July 24, as well as the following week. Finger Lakes officials are hopeful that the 1 1/16-mile race will be a  better fit on stable calendars after the conclusion of the Saratoga meet.

“We're going to give it one last go,” said Racing Secretary Jerry Richards. “The New York Oaks is an important race for us on our stakes schedule and we're hoping now that Saratoga has closed down for their season, we'll get a few more entries to make the race go.”
