Weather Ices Racing For Second Straight Day

Another day with extreme cold temperatures has forced officials at the New York Racing Association to scrub Friday's live racing program at Aqueduct Racetrack. Similar conditions also resulted in the cancellation of the Thursday program at the Long Island oval. Temperatures are expected to moderate into the weekend and live racing is expected to resume Saturday. The track was to remain open for simulcasting. The cold snap also caused the cancellation of live racing at Charles Town after two races Thursday evening and that track will also not conduct a live program Friday.
