In order to make up for six race dates canceled due to inclement weather this winter, the Daily Racing Form reports that Aqueduct Racetrack will add extra races to each card over the next several weeks.
New York Racing Association officials made this decision instead of adding more race days to the schedule on short notice.
“March is a tough month,” said Keith Doleshel, NYRA's racing secretary. “At the end of the day, you don't get an influx of horses until April or May.”
Ten races have been carded for Friday, March 18, and an additional 10 are expected to be carded on both Saturday and Sunday.
Live racing is planned for Friday through Sunday each week until March 31, when Thursday cards are added to the schedule.
