Aqueduct’s Belmont at the Big A Card Cancelled Saturday Due to Weather

Live racing has been cancelled Saturday at Aqueduct Racetrack as hazardous weather is forecasted for the area, the New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) announced in a release late Friday afternoon. High winds and significant rainfall are expected in the New York metropolitan area and are expected to create inclement weather conditions on Saturday.

The National Weather Service (NWS) is calling for sustained high winds with gusts up to 40 MPH and heavy rainfall throughout the day. Saturday's race card for the Belmont at the Big A meet was scheduled to have 10 live races, including the GIII Noble Damsel S. at a mile on the turf for fillies and mares ages 3/up. That race, as well as the listed Ashley T. Cole S., will be brought back on Friday, Sept. 29 with entries to be taken on Sunday.

Aqueduct will remain open for simulcasting on Saturday, with live racing scheduled to resume Sunday at 1:05 p.m. ET.

Santa Anita Cancels Friday’s Card

As weather woes continue to dog Southern California, officials at Santa Anita proactively cancelled Friday's eight-race program and have scheduled a make-up day of racing for Monday, Mar. 27. Heavy rain resulting in more than three inches of precipitation through Wednesday is expected to fall. Track officials consulted with the California Horse Racing Board (CHRB), the Thoroughbred Owners of California (TOC), the Jockeys' Guild, and the California Thoroughbred Trainers (CTT) in the decision.

Entries will be taken on Thursday morning for Monday.

“By running on Monday instead of Friday, we're going to allow both the main track and our turf course an extra day to dry out before we run on Saturday,” said Santa Anita Director of Racing and Racing Secretary Jason Egan. “This will also enable us to run on the grass all three days and it will give horses a chance to return to training prior to racing this weekend.”

Santa Anita will remain open for simulcast wagering on Friday.
