The casino outfit that is in place is taking it over to build a hotel and expand . They are 5 mins from JFK. Belmont will now have winter racing.

that is wrong as wrong can be !! I JUST cannot believe that all the people that will be put out of work are for that! all the history all the great horses that ran there, and Belmont paying $8,500 for horses that ship in and stable there.... what happens when that money that the state loaned them at no telling what rate runs out ( THE MONEY ALWAYS RUNS OUT ) HAPPENS. SORRY that is a great track GREAT INTRO MUSIC FOR REPLAYS OF RACES

They’re closing Aqueduct because New York racing is being consolidated at the rebuilt Belmont Park. NYRA and the state are turning Belmont into the year-round downstate racing hub, with the modernized facility expected to take over the racing dates Aqueduct used to carry. So this is not really about Aqueduct failing as a racetrack. It is about Belmont becoming the main operation and NYRA no longer needing two major downstate tracks splitting resources.

The other part is the land. Aqueduct sits on valuable Queens property, and once racing moves to Belmont, that land becomes available for redevelopment. So the Big A is basically being sacrificed for a modern Belmont and a big real-estate opportunity. For horseplayers, it stings because Aqueduct is an old-school winter grinder’s track, but from the business side, they see one rebuilt Belmont as cleaner, newer, and more profitable than keeping both tracks alive.
