The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) has canceled Friday’s live racing program at Aqueduct Racetrack due to a winter storm currently impacting the New York metropolitan area.
New York City remains under a winter weather advisory, with the National Weather Service (NWS) 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.
Live racing at Aqueduct will resume on Saturday, January 8 with a nine-race card headlined by the $100,000 Say Florida Sandy. First post on Saturday is 12:20 p.m. Eastern.
