Description:
With sub-zero wind chills anticipated from a severe winter storm, the New York Racing Association canceled live racing at Aqueduct Racetrack Feb. 16, including the scheduled $100,000 Evening Attire Stakes.
It will be the second straight scheduled racing day the New York track will go without races, and training at Aqueduct and Belmont Park will also be canceled Monday. The Presidents' Day cancellation will be the 11th complete race card Aqueduct has lost as a result of inclement weather conditions in 2015.
Aqueduct and the Belmont Cafe will remain open for simulcasting. Telebet and Internet wagering will continue to be available through NYRA Rewards.
Live racing at Aqueduct is scheduled to resume Feb. 19.
