The Final Horse Race Ever Run at New York City's Historic Aqueduct Racetrack

First racing in 1894, Aqueduct Racetrack's 132-year run comes to an end, making way for the newly renovated Belmont Park to become the year-round home of New York racing outside of Saratoga's summer meet. Aqueduct was one of the earliest tracks I ever attended, and while I was in High School, my dad and I would venture up for every Kentucky Derby prep race. It will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you, Aqueduct, for all the memories and fun!
