Racing at Aqueduct Racetrack
The New York Racing Association has moved the entirety of the Feb. 7 live racing program at Aqueduct Racetrack to Feb. 8 due to a winter storm slated to impact the New York metropolitan area throughout the day Sunday.
The National Weather Service, which aligns with NYRA's independent weather services, is calling for heavy snow Sunday with an accumulation of five to nine inches as well as wind chill values between 20 and 25 for the downstate New York region.
As a result, NYRA has moved Sunday's eight-race card to Monday in the interest of the safety of all participants. Monday's card is highlighted by the $100,000 Ruthless Stakes, a seven-furlong sprint for sophomore fillies. First post is 1:20 p.m. ET.
