Yeah, but wouldn't this Convention Center lose some appeal being based in Queens? Granted they would have the hotel/casino, but for those patrons looking for the City life/expierence will be sorely dissapointed. Let's face it, it's not exactly down the street from NYC.

Not a real surprise, now I can see why the State was so intent on transfering the title of the land from NYRA to the State.
I had high hopes for Cuomo but he has turned out to be a major disappointment and proven that his word means nothing and he can't be trusted.

It looks like the beginning of the end for Aqueduct racing.

I love Aqueduct. But If this eventually happens, I really hope NYRA is able to get the rights or partner on a parimutuel race book on site.
I don't think a big part of the crowd in the Man O War room, etc, see a live race outside of the monitors in winter. The races could be run on Mars and they would probably wouldn't notice much difference if the product and surface were consistent. A top notch NYRA race book with subway access as part of a casino complex could actually be pretty nice and generate handle. The Belmont logistics, I imagine would be quite an undertaking...

I saw the word "racing" used once in that entire letter.
