New York messing with the schedule again, wonder if any of it has to do with Fox’s ability to show the darn races?????

You just cannot trust Fox!

I agree!

Yikes!!

Note this year’s logo is a nod to Secretariat’s 50th anniversary of his Belmont/TC win.

 I love it!!!!

This is awesome 

So it looks as though Aqueduct would be closed/sold after Belmont is renovated.

NYRA doesn’t own the land that Aqueduct is on so they would just terminate their lease and the land goes back to NY.
With this consolidation 1) I worry about stabling (will there be enough?) 

2) because of the dirt track configuration of 1.5 miles not many 2 turn races will be available to be run which will not allow much development of 2 turn horses. 

Belmont to install synthetic track, Saratoga too
