OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Going to a four-day race week at Aqueduct in February is proving to be a good decision for the New York Racing Association. Two storms in 48 hours forced NYRA to cancel training at both Aqueduct and Belmont Park for three straight mornings – Monday through Wednesday – as well as forced Monday’s nine-race card to be postponed. The next live racing card isn’t scheduled until Friday, when the forecast calls for sunny skies and temperatures in the upper 20s. As per its February schedule, NYRA is slated to race Fridays through Mondays before reverting back to a five-day week – Thursdays through Mondays – in March. Unable to take horses to the track, horsemen have been limited to jogging horses in their own barn, or in certain barns at both Aqueduct and Belmont designated as jogging barns. David Jacobson, the leading trainer in terms of starters (140) at the Aqueduct winter meet, said he has some of his horses jog 15 times around the shed row of the receiving barn. “You try to do enough to keep them fit,” Jacobson said. Jacobson said the lack of training could hinder entries in the short term. February is typically a difficult month at Aqueduct in terms of filling races. “It’s going to affect things going forward,” he said. “Horses that have been running a lot have an advantage. Horses on the shelf 30, 60, 90 days, you lose galloping, and then breezing, it’s tough.” Jacobson did praise the NYRA maintenance crew, led by Glen Kozak, for “doing an amazing job with the track” this winter. Trainer Mark Hennig, whose string is based at Belmont Park, said he’s kept most of the horses in the barn, noting that the horse paths from his barn to the designated jogging barn have snow and ice on them. “The horse paths are as big a problem as the racetrack,” said Hennig, who acknowledged the difficult task NYRA crews have of clearing everything. “Getting to the jogging barn is not necessarily worth the risk. . . . Everybody’s in the same boat; you do all you can do.”
