Located near the site of a former conduit of the Brooklyn Water Works that brought water from Long Island to the Ridgewood Reservoir Aqueduct Racetrack was opened on September 27 1894 by the Queens County Jockey Club.12 The facility was expanded and a new clubhouse was constructed before the start of the summer meet in 1941.3 In 1955 the Greater New York Association took over the racetrack along with Belmont Park Jamaica Racetrack and Saratoga Race Course and decided to make major upgrades to Aqueduct after which Jamaica Racetrack would be sold for redevelopment as a housing project.456 The racetrack closed in 1956 and reopened on September 14 1959 after $33 million of renovations designed by noted racetrack architect Arthur Froehlich of the architecture firm Arthur Froehlich and Associates of Beverly Hills California.7 The Equestris Restaurant in the clubhouse opened in 1981 and was the largest restaurant in New York City at the time.89 Additional renovations were made in 2001 2006 and 2007.

Before 1976 the Inner Dirt Track was a turf course and it was known as the Main Turf Course with the lone present turf course bearing the name of the Inner Turf Course; following the conclusion of racing in 1975 the grass on the Main Turf Course was uprooted and the Inner Dirt Track took its place to permit year-round racing. (In the first few years after Aqueduct was rebuilt in 1959 the track lay idle from early November until April 1; by 1971 this period had been reduced to from shortly before Christmas until March 1 and in the latter year off-track betting began in New York City creating a demand for horse racing to be contested in the region throughout the year).

Today a single meeting is held annually at Aqueduct; it typically begins on the last Wednesday in October and runs all the way through the first Sunday in May. Races are run on the Inner Dirt Track between the Wednesday after Thanksgiving and right before the Wood Memorial in recent years. Prior to 1977 a summer meeting was also conducted at Aqueduct running from mid-June to the end of July. From 1963 through 1967 races normally run at Belmont Park (including the Belmont Stakes) were run at Aqueduct instead while Belmont's grandstand was being rebuilt. The Wood Memorial is currently the marquee race which culminates the winter meet. The Remsen and Cigar Mile are major races that commence the winter meet just after Thanksgiving. The prestigious Jockey Club Gold Cup was usually run there between 1958 and 1974 and what was perhaps the track's most distinctive race the marathon 2+14 miles (3.6 km) Display Handicap was last contested in 1990. The track played host to the second ever Breeders' Cup on November 2 1985.10

Aqueduct is the site of the first and presently the only triple dead heat for win in a stakes race. In the 1944 running of the Carter Handicap Brownie Bossuet and Wait A Bit hit the finish line at the same time.11 On April 8 2006 during an eleven-race program at Aqueduct that included the Wood Memorial Stakes a rare event happened when dead heats for each of the three "money" positions (Win Place and Show) occurred in three separate races: Saint Anddan and Criminal Mind dead-heated for Place in Race 5 Naragansett and Emotrin dead-heated for Show in Race 6 and Karakorum Tuxedo and Megatrend dead-heated for Win in Race 10.12 Spectators watching the finish of a race on Aqueduct's Main Track.

Hall of Fame horse Cigar won the first two races in his sixteen-race win streak at Aqueduct. After switching from grass to dirt Cigar's first win was by eighth lengths in an allowance race on October 28 1994 and was followed by a seven length win in the NYRA Mile on November 26 1994 a Grade 1 race that was renamed in the horse's honor in 1997.131415 On May 31 1965 73375 spectators were on hand at Aqueduct and watched Gun Bow win the Metropolitan Mile. At the time it was the largest crowd to ever attend a thoroughbred horse racing event in New York.16

Pope John Paul II said mass in front of a crowd of 75000 at Aqueduct on October 6 1995.17 Every weekend a flea market is run in the racetrack's north parking lot located along Rockaway Boulevard. Proposal to close track

In May 2007 reports indicated that then-New York Governor Eliot Spitzer was considering closing Aqueduct and selling the 192-acre (0.78 km2) track and its stables which currently house 400 horses to developers when the New York Racing Association lease expired at the end of 2007. According to the reports Belmont Park which is 4 miles (6.4 km) east in Elmont New York would have become a nearly year-round track and would get the video lottery machines authorized to operate at Aqueduct. Belmont Park would have been modified to handle winter requirements which would have included heated stands and the construction of new stables. According to the plans that were discussed the oldest and most historic track in the state Saratoga Race Course would have been operated by the New York Racing Association and a new entity would have operated Belmont Park. Aqueduct traditionally has been considered a track frequented by blue collar fans while Belmont Park has a more upscale reputation.

Queens Democrat councilwoman Audrey I. Phieffer whose district includes Aqueduct fought the closing of the historic track which she felt was important to the local community. Any closure at Aqueduct which is equipped for the cold winter months would have required millions of dollars in renovations at Belmont a summer-only track. Belmont is also hampered by its north-oriented grandstand-which would cause shadows in the winter months. Belmont is one of few racecourses in the United States (Santa Anita Park and Thistledown Racecourse being the others) to be north-oriented. All others are oriented either east (or rarely west).18 NYRA was planning to cease all operations after completing the racing card of February 10 2008. This was averted when a deal was reached with NYRA and New York State.19 To raise help raise capital NYRA sold 325000 square feet (30200 m2) of vacant land near Aqueduct in June 2009. The land that was auctioned off consisted of residential lots to the west of the IND Rockaway Line.2021 Proposal for Racino The New York State Legislature legalized video gambling devices at racetracks in 2001. However the opening of a racino at the track has hit various problems. Video lottery terminals similar to slot machines were approved at five locations including Aqueduct Finger Lakes Race Track Monticello Raceway Vernon Downs and Yonkers Raceway. The revenue would be divided between the racetracks and the state and would allow tracks to increase purses and attract better quality horses in races.22 In 2007 the state issued a request for proposals to operate the video lottery terminals at Aqueduct. Among the bids received was a $2 billion proposal by the Shinnecock Indian Nation to open a casino at the track. The proposal was in conjunction with Marian Ilitch a co-owner of the Detroit Red Wings. The proposal according to most sources was dead on arrival since even if the Shinnecocks received official Bureau of Indian Affairs recognition as a tribe (which they are still awaiting) the Aqueduct Casino would still have to be approved by the New York State Legislature the Bureau of Indian Affairs and Aqueduct would have to first be taken into trust by the Department of Interior since the Shinnecocks historically had not owned property in Queens.23 In October 2008 the state selected the Delaware North as the winning bidder among three proposals to build a racino at Aqueduct. The 330000-square-foot (31000 m2) facility would include 4500 slot machines.24 However these plans fell apart in March 2009 when the developer was unable to make a $370 million upfront payment to the state.25 Grandstand at Aqueduct Racetrack and site of the future casino. In July 2009 seven companies submitted bids to develop a racino at Aqueduct: Aqueduct Entertainment Group Delaware North MGM Mirage Mohegan Sun Penn National Gaming SL Green Realty and Steve Wynn. Some developers indicated that a portion of the slot machines could open as early as April 2010. However the selection of an operator for the casino was delayed for several months because State officials frequently changed the rules and could not reach an agreement on the winning bidder prompting Steve Wynn to pull out of the running in November.262728 On January 29 2010 Governor David Paterson announced that the Aqueduct Entertainment Group would run the casino.29 Aqueduct Entertainment Group partners included GreenStar Services Corporation Turner Construction Company Levine Builders The Darman Group Empowerment Development Corporation Navegante Group PS&S Design Siemens AG and Clairvest Group.30 The appointment generated controversy because of charges that AEG which had the worst initial bid of those bidding was allowed to change its bid so that it had the best. Paterson was reported to have demanded that the ownership of an affirmative action component. During this time singer Jay-Z through his company Gain Global Investments Network LLC then got a 7 percent ownership of AEG and charges were made that Jay-Z and Paterson had a personal relationship. U.S. prosecutors investigated the bidding process particularly in the light that AEG won the bid two days after Queens megachurch pastor Floyd Flake (who is also an AEG investor) threatened to switch his support in the 2010 governor race from Paterson to Andrew Cuomo. New York house speaker Sheldon Silver also threatened not to sign off on the deal. Paterson maintained there was no quid pro quo.3132 On March 9 2010 Paterson Flake and Jay-Z withdrew from further involvement. Paterson said he was recusing himself on the advice of his lawyers. Flake who had 0.6 percent share said the case was distracting from his other projects.3334 On March 11 2010 the state withdrew its support for the AEG bid and announced that a new group would be selected through an "expedited transparent apolitical and publicly accountable process."35 On June 2 2010 New York Lottery officials announced that six groups were considering submitting bids to develop the racino. These include three of the previous bidders (Delaware North Penn National Gaming and SL Green Realty) and three new groups (Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway Genting New York LLC and Clairvest Group). The winning bidder is expected to be announced in the beginning of August.36 On June 29 2010 three of the firms submitted bids -- (SL Green/Hard Rock Cafe Genting Group and Penn National). Clairvest is a participant in the SL Green/Hard Rock Cafe bid.37 On August 3 2010 Lottery officials announced they had accepted Genting Group's $380 million upfront licensing fee bid which was $55 million more than the closest bid. Genting said it wants to roll out 1600 of an eventual 4525 video lottery terminals by February 2011 provided the state legislature approves the bid. Its business model includes targeting flyers stranded at John F. Kennedy Airport. The company said its plans involve 1200 construction jobs and 800 permanent jobs and will bring the state $500 million a year in revenue. SL Green and Penn National had been disqualified in June 2010. Aqueduct Entertainment Group said it intends to sue.38 Track Announcers and TV Personalites Sportscaster Tom Durkin is the chief track announcer at Aqueduct and the other NYRA tracks. John Imbriale the veteran NYRA backup and TV host is the race caller during the winter section of the Aqueduct season. TV personalities have included: Harvey Pack (1995-1999) Paul Corman (1995-1999) John M. Veitch (1995-1999) John Imbriale (1995-2005) Jan Rushton (1995-2009) Jason Blewitt (2006-present) Eric Donovan (2006-present) Andy Serling (2008-present) Rich McCarthy (1995-1999) Mike Watchmaker (1995-1999) Michael Sherack (1997-2000) Kelly Gecewicz (2000-2005) Mary Ryan (1995-1999) Maggie Wolfendale (2010-present) Physical attributes Aerial view of Aqueduct's Main Track Inner Dirt Track and turf course. Aqueduct is the only racetrack located within New York City limits and houses the New York Racing Association's headquarters. The track has seating capacity of 17000 but total capacity of 90000. The track itself has three courses: the Main Track (dirt) has a circumference of 1+18 miles (1.8 km); inside of this is the Inner Dirt Track (consisting of a special type of dirt over which races are run during the winter months) which is exactly 1 mile (1.6 km) long; and the innermost course is a turf (grass) course spanning 7 furlongs plus 43 feet (1.4 km). A straightaway chute leads on to the backstretch of the Main Track and permits races on the dirt up to 1 mile (1.6 km) long to be run with one turn. The turf course has a diagonal chute that permits races up to 1+18 miles (1.8 km) long to be run with two turns. Oddly the stretch on the Inner Dirt Track1174 feet (358 m)is longer than the stretch on the Main Track1153 feet (351 m)due to the structure of the turns. Racing The following graded stakes are run at Aqueduct: Grade I: Carter Handicap Cigar Mile Handicap Wood Memorial Stakes Gazelle Handicap Grade II: Comely Stakes Demoiselle Stakes Distaff Handicap Red Smith Handicap Remsen Stakes Top Flight Handicap Bed O' Roses Handicap Grade III: Long Island Handicap Aqueduct Handicap Athenia Handicap Bay Shore Stakes Beaugay Handicap Bold Ruler Handicap Busher Stakes Cicada Stakes Excelsior Handicap Fort Marcy Handicap Gotham Stakes Knickerbocker Handicap Nashua Stakes Next Move Handicap Queens County Handicap Stuyvesant Handicap Tempted Stakes Toboggan Handicap Tom Fool Handicap Turnback The Alarm Handicap Valley Stream Stakes Withers Stakes Sport Page Handicap Non-graded stakes races: Affectionately Handicap Busanda Stakes Count Fleet Stakes Damon Runyon Stakes East View Stakes Gallant Fox Handicap Gravesend Handicap Hollie Hughes Handicap Interborough Handicap Jimmy Winkfield Stakes Ruthless Stakes Stymie Handicap Whirlaway Stakes Transportation View of Aqueduct Racetrack from the AqueductNorth Conduit Avenue subway station The track has its own stationAqueduct Racetrack stationon the New York City Subway served by the IND Rockaway Line (A) train. It is only open from 11 am to 7 pm on days when the track is open. However it is also the system's only single direction station with a single side platform on the Manhattan-bound side requiring southbound travelers to exit at AqueductNorth Conduit Avenue station which is located a few blocks to the south. NYRA also operates a free shuttle bus between the North Conduit Avenue station and the Clubhouse entrance. Buses on the Q7 Q11 Q37 routes pass nearby. New York City Off-Track Betting collapse As a result of the collapse of the New York City Off-Track Betting Corporation on December 10 2010 the Aqueduct Racetrack saw an increase in patrons for the first time in several years. For example on December 11th one day after NYCOTB's closure the number of patrons who entered Aqueduct's doors increased 61 percent (5444 customers) compared to last year (3378 customers).39 and as a result the New York Racing Association which owns Aqueduct took advantage by offering former NYCOTB customers free bus shuttle service from select former NYCOTB branches to Aqueduct Racetrack with a free hot dog soft drink and Post Parade program.40 Popular culture In Lucky Number Slevin in the beginning of the movie the father and son are at Aqueduct Racetrack. There is a scene with Aqueduct Racetrack in the movie A Bronx Tale. A scene from A Shock to the System was filmed in the old Aqueduct Raceway Station. Felix and Oscar in an episode of "The Odd Couple" go to Aqueduct. See also New York Racing Association Belmont Park Saratoga Race Course References "Notes for Racing Men". The New York Times: p. 3.
