There is just way too much competion with the City to put anythign there that would be remotely appealing to the woman who is not interested in racing in the first place.
I'm female and go to AQU a few times a year. I live in Albany so it's a hike but if I lived in the greater NYC area, I'd go alot. It is not Saratoga but it is not nearly as horrible a place as it's portrayed. I have never even considered going to a slot room (never been to the Spa slots) nor would shopping (which I do love!) draw me to the track. If I wanna shop I shop, I prefer going tot he races to play the horses and socialize.
