Aqueduct Racetrack
Located in Queens, New York, directly across from JFK International Airport, the Aqueduct race track runs two meets annually. The longer meeting is their winter to spring meet and the shorter meet in the fall. Both meetings feature more blue-collar racing than New York’s two other meets, Belmont and Saratoga.
The more extensive thoroughbred stables spend late fall, the winter, and early spring at Gulfstream Park in Florida, the FairGrounds in Louisiana, Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and Keeneland in Lexington, Kentucky in the spring. This schedule allows owners and trainers who may not be equipped with the quality stock the rest of the year to compete with the top outfits to win races with good purses at Aqueduct horse track.
Aqueduct Horse Racing Season
Aqueduct’s horse racing dirt course is 1 1/8 miles around 2-turns. 1 Mile races run out of a chute around 1-turns. There is a turf course where plenty of grass races run until Mid-December due to the cold New York winters. In March, the turf course is then reopened. Due to Aqueduct’s high purse structure, you will see some of the larger racing outfits keep a string of horses (2nd tier runners) up north at this track.
The jockey colony is still robust, and it will be during this meet that a good apprentice jockey (referred to as a bug boy) could surface.
Aqueduct Stake Races
Aqueduct horse racing plays host to several stakes races annually. The two most prestigious races run during the Aqueduct Fall Meet. The Aqueduct stakes races are the Remsen Stakes for 2-year olds, which provides us a glimpse of possible Kentucky Derby candidates the 1st Saturday in May and the Cigar Mile for colts geldings 3-year old’s and up.
In addition to those significant stakes races, another big race is In the Spring, and The Wood Memorial is run at 1 1/8 miles. This race serves as a ‘key’ Kentucky Derby prep race usually run 1-month before the Roses Run.
Aqueduct Racetrack History
This New York, Queens County track opened itsdoors for the first time in 1894, but no significant improvements were made tothe racing venue until 1941.
Aqueduct Race Track Conditions
Aqueduct made the headlines in 1944 when itplayed host to the only triple dead heat in Stakes racing history. In additionto that, several racing elites passed through its doors during this decade withMan O’ War, Sword Dancer, Secretariat, and Cigar – all winning at the course. The latter horsenow has a Grade 1 contest named in honor of his achievements at AqueductRacetrack.
The track underwent a major refurbishment in1959. With a new grandstand built alongside additional barns and accessorybuildings, this came at the cost of over $30 million (or $267 million intoday’s dollars).
These improvements were well-received,bringing record numbers to the track and further adjustments followed in thelate 1980s. This update included the addition of a weather-insulated paddock.The New York winter can be surprising and unforgivable, with unpredictableconditions, and it was essential to keep the thoroughbred racehorses away fromthe winter elements.
In 2011, Aqueduct expanded further, with itsmulti-level 415,000 square foot casino erected, and this has since expandedacross multiple floors.

Bucking the trend of a day which saw racetrack closings across the country and across the world, the New York Racing Association announced that they would resume racing this Friday, albeit with no spectators.
Since March 12, 2020, NYRA has conducted live racing without fan attendance. This announcement comes following consultation with the New York State Gaming Commission (NYSGC) and adheres to New York's ban on public gatherings of more than 50 people, as no live audience is permitted.

That practice will remain in place when racing returns on Friday, and NYRA's Preparedness and Response Plan Committee, comprised of key NYRA staff members as well as representatives from the New York Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association (NYTHA), the Backstretch Employee Service Team (BEST), and the New York Race Track Chaplaincy of America (NYRTCA), will closely monitor and assess developments regarding the coronavirus.
“The health and safety of employees, fans, horsemen and the backstretch community is paramount,” said NYRA CEO & President Dave O'Rourke. “Now that we have experienced racing under these conditions for three days, we remain confident in our ability to safely conduct racing operations behind closed doors and with only the staff that are required under the rules of racing in New York. Of course, we will constantly evaluate this situation over the coming days in advance of Friday and make further adjustments as necessary.”
Until further notice, only racetrack staff essential to officiate and report on live racing per NYSGC rules, including, but not limited to, stewards, trainers, assistant trainers and grooms, will be permitted on-site. Owners will not be permitted access to Aqueduct.
NYRA will continue to follow best practices established by the New York State Department of Health and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.
The Belmont Park backstretch and its facilities will remain open to horsemen and operational for training. Owners will not be permitted access to the backstretch until further notice.
