Horses leave the gate at Aqueduct Racetrack
The New York Racing Association has canceled the Jan. 30 live racing program at Aqueduct Racetrack due to the continued impact of the powerful winter storm currently ongoing in the New York City metropolitan area.
The National Weather Service forecast, which aligns with NYRA's independent weather services, calls for continued heavy snow through 4:00 p.m. ET Jan 29, with areas of blowing snow before 4:00 a.m. As a result, NYRA officials made the decision to cancel Sunday's card in the interest of the safety of all participants.
Sunday's featured $100,000 Jimmy Winkfield is rescheduled for Feb. 6.
Aqueduct Racetrack will be open for simulcasting Sunday. Live racing at Aqueduct will resume Feb. 3.
