Aqueduct cancels Sunday card due to fog

Sunday’s eight-race card at Aqueduct was canceled due to fog-related safety concerns, according to the stewards.

Horses were in the paddock and tacked up for the first race as the fog rolled in. There were concerns that the riders would not be able to see and that a clear picture could not be seen with the head-on camera.

The fog was expected to get worse as the day went on with temperatures climbing to near 60 degrees.

Aqueduct remained open for simulcasting.

Sunday was deemed the final day of racing of the fall meet. Racing at Aqueduct is dark until Friday, when the winter meet opens.
