Aqueduct Closes After Century of Racing
Description
After nearly 100 years, Aqueduct Racetrack is closing its gates for good, making way for a bold new future in Queens. The iconic “Big A” will transform into a vibrant mixed-use hub with housing, retail, parks, and community spaces — while its legendary past, home to Secretariat and Ruffian, fades into memory. As fans say goodbye to the historic track, the spotlight turns to the reimagined Belmont Park on Long Island, set to reopen in September as a modern, year-round racing destination. This shift marks the end of an era — but also the beginning of something fresh, inclusive, and forward-looking for the community.
