Aqueduct Racetrack closes permanently Sunday
Aqueduct Racetrack, once considered a modern marvel in American horse racing, is closing after 132 years, making way for the reopening of Belmont Park’s new $455 million facility. The historic track hosted legendary horses and jockeys, serving as a blue-collar racing hub, but industry changes and proximity to Belmont have led to its closure. The new Belmont Park will feature multiple racecourses, a large grandstand, and amenities capable of hosting up to 50,000 spectators, marking a shift in New York’s racing focus.
