New York Turf Writers’ Cup rescheduled for Monday

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Due to heavy rain that hit the area on Wednesday night and Thursday morning, Thursday’s Grade 1, $150,000 New York Turf Writers’ Cup Steeplechase Stakes was postponed until Monday.

It was the second time this meet that New York Racing Association officials rescheduled a steeplechase race from a Thursday to a Monday due to course condition. All five of Thursday’s scheduled turf flat races were moved to the dirt.

The New York Turf Writers’ Cup was re-drawn on Thursday and the same nine horses who were originally entered were entered again.
