Due to expected wind gusts of up to 60 miles per hour in the afternoon,

Aqueduct canceled live racing for Friday. Aqueduct and the Belmont

Cafe remained open for simulcasting.

Live racing is expected to continue Saturday at Aqueduct with a 10-race card. First

There is no charge for admission or general parking at Aqueduct for either

Clubhouse entrance. During simulcast-only days, parking and admission gates will

open at 11 a.m., mutuels will open at approximately noon, and on Friday and

Saturday, the final simulcast race will go off at approximately 11 p.m.
