There will not be a new track built in the Metropolitan area. There would be barns added at Belmont for the horses stabled at AQU. In terms of the winter racing, the logical thing to do is rebuild the BEL training track with a Poly surface and build a small state of the art simulcast/broadcast viewing pavillion as the Grandstand/Clubhouse.

Good idea, where would you place the pavilion? Near or in place of the present clockers stand on the TT?

Also, we might have to lose some of the backstretch parking lot for new barns or use the area right behind the 1st turn on the TT where those soccer/softball fields are located.
