OZONE PARK, N.Y. – The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) has moved the entirety of Sunday’s live racing program at Aqueduct Racetrack to Monday due a winter storm slated to impact the New York metropolitan area throughout the day on Sunday.
The National Weather Service (NWS), which aligns with NYRA’s independent weather services, is calling for heavy snow with accumulation of 5 to 9 inches as well as wind chill values between 20 and 25 for the downstate New York region on Sunday.
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, a seven-furlong sprint for sophomore fillies. First post is 1:20 p.m. Eastern.
