Rainfall Forces Aqueduct’s Miss Grillo Stakes To Sunday Oct. 6 Says NYRA

The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) has moved Sunday’s featured GII Miss Grillo Stakes [eighth race], a 1 1/16-mile turf test for 2-year-old fillies at Belmont at the Big A, due to significant rainfall and is now scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 6, the track said in a release early Sunday morning.

The Miss Grillo offers a “Win and You’re In” berth to the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf Nov. 1 at Del Mar.

The graded race, which will be offered as an extra and redrawn, will join a card that also includes the GII Beldame Stakes and GIII Matron Stakes. Entries for the Sunday, Oct. 6 card will be taken on Wednesday, Oct. 2.

On Saturday, NYRA said that the four other turf races on Sunday’s card [Races 3,5,6 and 9], which was originally scheduled for nine races, had been moved to the main track.

The Sunday eight-race card will kick off as scheduled with the first race at 1:05 p.m. ET. Post time for ninth, initially scheduled for 5:13 p.m. ET, has been moved to 4:48 p.m. ET.

Any multi-race wagers that include the eighth race have been canceled and will be refunded.

The $1 Pick 6, which was to include an $83,911 carryover, has been moved to Thursday, Oct. 3, and will begin in the third race at 1:42 p.m. ET.
