The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) has canceled live racing for the remainder of Thursday's card at Aqueduct Racetrack due to accumulating snow on the Big A main track.
With the National Weather Service calling for heavy snow and poor visibility throughout the afternoon in the New York Metropolitan area, racing was cancelled following the day's sixth race.
The Belmont Cafe and Aqueduct Racetrack will remain open for simulcasting and online wagering is available through NYRA Bets.
Live racing will resume on Friday, November 16 at Aqueduct with a 9-race card. First-race post time is 12:20 p.m. Stakes action returns to Aqueduct this weekend with the Grade 3 $200,000 Red Smith Handicap slated for Saturday and the $125,000 NYSS Thunder Rumble on Sunday.
