The $200,000 Fasig-Tipton Waya S. and the $100,000 Fasig-Tipton Lure S., scheduled on the turf at 1 1/2 miles and 1 1/16 miles, respectively, were slated to be the last races on the 11-race GI Whitney S. card at Saratoga Saturday, but were cancelled due to heavy rains.
The New York State Gaming Commission rules required the New York Racing Association to cancel several multi-race wagers on the Whitney card, including the NYRA Bets Late Pick 5, the Grand Slam, the late Pick 4, the late Pick 3s, and the late Daily Double.
Races one, two, and four Saturday, also carded as turf events, were moved to the main track, while race five (the $100,000 Fasig-Tipton De La Rose S.) was transferred to the inner turf course with the rail set out at 18 feet.
The Lure was postponed to Saturday, Aug. 11, and the Waya was rescheduled for Sunday, Aug. 12.
