Belmont Park cancelled its Wednesday live card and simulcasting menu because of heavy thunderstorms that dumped five inches of rain on the compound. Internet and Telebet wagering on other tracks was still available.
The heavy downpour began overnight and proceeded into Wednesday morning, causing local traffic jams and power outages. It caused minor flooding in Belmont Park’s clubhouse lobby and in the jockeys’ room.
The dirt races scheduled for Wednesday will be re-drawn and used for Friday’s Sunset Friday card. The two turf races scheduled for Wednesday will not be brought back.
