Aqueduct Racetrack

Aqueduct Racetrack was a Thoroughbred horse racing facility in the South Ozone Park and Jamaica neighborhoods of Queens, New York City, United States. Aqueduct was the last racetrack to operate within New York City limits. Its races usually ran from late October or early November through April. The final races were held at Aqueduct on June 28, 2026. It remains open for simulcast horse betting until September 7, 2026. The track had three courses: the main track (dirt), with a circumference of 1+1⁄8 miles (1.8 km), whose infield holds the 1 mile (1.6 km) Main Turf Course and the Inner Turf Course, measuring 7.065 furlongs (1.421 km). The track had seating capacity of 17,000 and total capacity of 40,000. The racetrack and the adjacent headquarters of the New York Racing Association (NYRA) sat on a 172-acre (70 ha) site. The New York State Franchise Oversight Board leases about 72.6 acres (29.4 ha) of the racetrack site to the Resorts World New York City casino and hotel.
