If you read the John Nerud piece, you'll see that he laid that plan out a while ago. Except that they need to build the winterized Clubhouse/Grandstand on the opposite side of the track, and replace the inner turf course with a winter synthetic strip. Race at Aqueduct until the new Belmont is complete, and pay for the renovations with proceeds from a subsequent sale of Aqueduct.
