The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) has canceled Saturday’s live racing program at Aqueduct Racetrack due to arctic temperatures and sub-zero wind chill values forecast to impact the metropolitan area throughout the day, the association said in a press release on Friday morning.
As previously reported, NYRA has also shifted Sunday’s live racing program to Wednesday due to a powerful winter storm expected to bring heavy snowfall to the region.
Saturday’s featured Interborough Stakes will be brought back for Friday, Feb. 6, with entries to be taken on Saturday, Jan. 31.
The Big A will remain open for simulcasting on Saturday but closed to the public on Sunday.
