The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) has canceled Sunday's 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, is calling for continued heavy snow through 4:00 p.m. Eastern 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 will re-scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 6.
Aqueduct Racetrack will be open for simulcasting on Sunday.
Live racing at Aqueduct will resume on Thursday, Feb. 3.
