Hard to Justify wins the 2023 Miss Grillo Stakes at Aqueduct
The New York Racing Association announced that the Sept. 29 featured (Race 8) $200,000 Miss Grillo (G2T), a 1 1/16-mile turf test for 2-year-old fillies at Belmont at the Big A, has been cancelled due to significant rainfall and will be moved to Oct. 6. The Miss Grillo offers a "Win and You're In" berth to the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G1T) Nov. 1 at Del Mar.
The rescheduled Miss Grillo, which will be offered as an extra and redrawn, will join a stacked Oct. 6 card that also includes the $250,000 Beldame (G2) and $175,000 Matron (G3). Entries for the card will be taken Oct. 2.
On Saturday, NYRA announced that the four other turf races on Sunday's card (Races 3, 5, 6, and 9), which was originally scheduled for nine races, had been moved to the main track.
Sunday's now eight-race card will kick off as scheduled with race 1 at 1:05 p.m. E.T. Post time for Race 9, initially scheduled for 5:13 p.m., has been moved to 4:48 p.m.
Any multi-race wagers that include race 8 have been canceled and will be refunded.
The $1 Pick 6, which was to include an $83,911 carryover, has been moved to Oct. 3, and will begin in race 3 at 1:42 p.m. First post for Thursday's eight-race card, which is headlined by the $135,000 Gio Ponti (race 7) is 12:40 p.m.
