News — Sat, 27 Jun 2026 14:37:47 +0000

On Sunday afternoon, June 28, 2026, at about 5:50 p.m. ET, the thundering sound of hooves striking the ground at Aqueduct Racetrack will forever go silent. After 132 years of serving New York racing fans, the ninth race Sunday will be the last one ever contested at the Big A as a transformation of downstate racing begins. Aqueduct joins the likes of the now-forgotten Jamaica Race Course and Brighton Beach as a past home of the sport in the bustling metropolis.

Saying goodbye to a building is one thing. Bidding farewell to people is another. When I think about the closure of Aqueduct Racetrack this Sunday, what first comes to mind isn’t the image of that retro-looking grandstand or the intensity of those howling winter winds on the apron. It’s the faces. The people who filled one of America’s great racetracks (certainly one of its grittiest), those who made Aqueduct what it ultimately became.
