According to Twitter reports from New York Racing Association vice president of communications Pat McKenna, a power loss forced the cancelation of Wednesday's fifth race at Saratoga Race Course.
The horses for the fifth race were in the paddock when the power went out at 3:19 p.m., and were sent back to the stable area. Power began to be restored just prior to 4:00 p.m., and the sixth race went off at 4:31 p.m., approximately 90 minutes after its originally-scheduled post time.
Per the Daily Racing Form's David Grening, Wednesday's Pick 6 wager will be refunded. There were consolation double and pick-3 payouts that ended in race 5.
The first race on Wednesday's card, a steeplechase contest, was canceled earlier this week due to heavy rainfall in the Saratoga area.
