The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) has canceled Saturday's live racing program at Aqueduct Racetrack due to arctic temperatures and sub-zero wind chill values forecast to impact the metropolitan area throughout the day, the association said in a press release on Friday morning.
Additionally, Laurel Park in Maryland has also canceled their 10-race Saturday card due to the expected frigid temperatures.
As previously reported, NYRA has also shifted Sunday's live racing program to Wednesday due to a powerful winter storm expected to bring heavy snowfall to the region.

The Big A will remain open for simulcasting on Saturday but closed to the public on Sunday.
Racing will resume at Laurel Park on Friday, Jan. 30.
