Monday at the Big A

[Alabama Stakes]

Does anyone know why they aren't racing at Aqueduct on the Monday Holiday instead of carding an 8 race card on Wednesday? I can remember Veterans Day being a big day at Suffolk Downs every year growing up. All the Veterans were in attendance wearing something to show they were a vet. My dad served 3 years , 6 months and 1 day in the navy in the pacific theatre during WWII and it was a big day for him.
