Aqueduct Racetrack is a renowned thoroughbred horse racing facility located in Queens, New York. As one of the oldest continuously operating horse racetracks in the United States, it has been a staple for horse enthusiasts since 1894.
The track features two primary tracks: the Inner Track and the Outer Track, with the latter being a larger, oval-shaped course that hosts most of its major events. The Inner Track is a smaller, figure-eight shaped course that operates during the winter months when the main track is closed due to inclement weather.
Aqueduct Racetrack is known for its competitive racing schedule, which typically runs from mid-November through late April. It features various stakes races throughout the year, with some of its most notable events being the Gotham Stakes and the Wood Memorial Stakes, both of which serve as key prep races for the Kentucky Derby.
The track has undergone significant renovations in recent years to improve amenities and enhance the overall experience for patrons. These updates include a modernized grandstand, expanded parking facilities, and an upgraded concession area with improved food options.
Aqueduct Racetrack is also notable for its proximity to nearby Belmont Park and Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, making it a hub for horse racing enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
