Remington Cancels Wednesday Card; No Power In Stable Area Due To Oklahoma Ice Storm

A rare October ice storm in Oklahoma City has forced Remington Park to cancel Wednesday night's race card, according to the track's Twitter account. It is the first time the National Weather Service has ever issued and ice storm warning in Tulsa or Norman during the month of October, according to The Washington Post.

Freezing ran created thick ice on trees and branches around Oklahoma City, knocking out power to hundreds of thousands.

“Due to extensive tree damage causing unsafe travel conditions, uncertain power situations and lack of power in the stable area, the racing card for tonight, Wed., Oct. 28, has been cancelled,” reads the statement on Remington Park's Twitter account.

Empire 6: Mandatory Payout Scheduled For Nov. 1 Closing Day At Belmont Park

The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) announces that the Sunday, Nov. 1 card at Belmont Park will feature a mandatory payout of the Empire 6, which boasts a jackpot of $299,827.81 heading into the start of the racing week on Thursday at Belmont.

Live coverage of all the races in the sequence will be available with America's Day at the Races on FOX Sports and MSG+. Free Equibase-provided past performances will be available for races that are part of the America's Day at the Races broadcast and can be accessed at https://www.nyra.com/belmont/racing/tv-schedule.

Sunday's live racing program at Belmont, which closes out the 27-day Belmont fall meet, will be highlighted by two stakes races, each with an $80,000 purse: the Chelsey Flower at 1 1/16 miles for 2-year-old fillies on the turf; and the $80,000 Pumpkin Pie, a 7-furlong test on the dirt for fillies and mares 3-years-old and up.

Closing Day of the Belmont fall meet will also feature mandatory payouts for both the Early Pick 5 and Late Pick 5 wagers.

Live racing will then move to Aqueduct Racetrack for the 18-day fall meet, featuring 29 stakes, including 11 graded events, worth $3.41 million in purse money, which will kick off on Friday, November 6 and run through Sunday, December 6.

The Empire 6 requires the bettor to select the first-place finisher of the final six races of the day's card. On non-mandatory payout days, if one unique ticket exists, then 100 percent of the net pool, plus the jackpot carryover if applicable, will be paid to the winner. If there is no unique wager selecting the first-place finisher in all six races, then 75 percent of the day's net pool will be distributed to those who selected the first-place finisher in the greatest number of races. The remainder will be added into the jackpot and carried to the next day's Empire 6.
