Went to Aqueduct for the first time yesterday...

[TouchOfGrey]

Is there a reason that this track needs to stay open? Do they really think slots are going to revitalize that place? It is so run down and tired looking.

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.
