NYRA Adjusts Belmont Post Times

The New York Racing Association, adjusting to accommodate the construction of a new arena for the NHL's New York Islanders at Belmont Park, has announced first post time at the upcoming fall meet at Belmont will be 3 p.m. on weekdays. Saturdays and Sundays will feature a first post of 1 p.m.

The first 23 days of the 37-day Belmont fall meet will be held at Belmont Park, kicking off Sept. 6. Live racing will shift to Aqueduct Racetrack Oct. 11 through Oct. 27 before the traditional Aqueduct fall meet opens Nov. 1.
