News Summary:

The New York Racing Association (NYRA) confirmed on April 2, 2026, that Aqueduct Racetrack is scheduled to close on June 28, with Belmont Park set to become NYRA's only downstate track beginning September 1. This development has sparked numerous discussions and acknowledgments of "the last" of specific stakes races at Aqueduct. Earlier on April 1, Aqueduct Racetrack announced a Pick 6 carryover of $17,240 for its Friday card after the multi-race wager remained unsolved from Thursday's program. On the same day, trainer Chad Brown neared his 3,000th career win as Iron Honor prepared for the G2 Wood Memorial, presented by Resorts World Casino, a race that also featured entries from trainers like George Weaver. Separately, NYRA stated on April 1 that it would increase its horse racing broadcasts by adding signals from top-tier tracks to its daily racing coverage on FOX-associated networks. This initiative responds to FanDuelTV's phasing out and includes exploring a dedicated 24/7 racing broadcast channel.
