I don't follow the industry problems as closely as most of you so there are probably lots of points I'm missing, but wouldn't it make sense to turn Belmont's inner turf course into a surface suitable for winter racing and close Aqueduct? Surely NYRA could save a lot of $$ by only operating two tracks instead of three.
Are there any thoughts about this? I'm genuinely curious.

take a ride to yonkers
a lot of what you say about the big a could have been said about yonkers pre vlt days , it was a tired old looking building without much flair and was running down , today the old building is still there and while the structure remains old it has been totally revitilized and given a facelift to modernize it. a new wing was added to bring more slots and entertainment to the facility .... to say aqu should close is a bit premature , if aqu has 1/2 the success that yonkers has it will still be a success for all invloved in ozone park
