Racing was canceled Sept. 30 at Aqueduct and Meadowlands due to significant rainfall forecast to create hazardous weather in New York and New Jersey.
The New York Racing Association further announced that it had moved Saturday’s 11-race card at Aqueduct to Oct. 1, and pushed Sunday’s 10-race program to Oct. 4 due to torrential rainfall causing widespread flooding and hazardous conditions in the New York metropolitan area.
