Farewell, Aqueduct

After a 132-year run, Aqueduct Racetrack officially hosted its final day of live Thoroughbred racing on June 28, 2026. With almost 6,900 fans turning out to mark the final day at the New York City oval, racing at the Big A concluded with the appropriately named race, “It Was a Good Run.” TDN's Christina Bossinakis talks with members of the horseracing community, who shared some of their fondest memories at the historic track.
