Big A Cancels Wednesday

Heavy rain forces Aqueduct cancellation; racing is expected to resume on Thursday when the weather improves and NYRA’s franchise is extended.
Update: Here’s the final NYRA bill. An announcement of a done deal is expected later this afternoon.
Finally: It’s settled. NYRA gets a 25-year contract, the state gets ownership of the land, and racing continues. Paul Moran breaks down the details.
