Aqueduct Racetrack, known as the Big A, is a horse racetrack in the neighborhood of Ozone Park in the New York City borough of Queens.

It is the one racetrack located within the New York City limits. Belmont Park - also operated by the New York Racing Association - is located outside the city, in Nassau County.



Belmont Park is a major thoroughbred horse-racing facility located in the hamlet of Elmont, New York in Nassau County on Long Island (just outside of New York City).
Its mile-and-a-half (2.4 km) main track is the largest dirt course in Thoroughbred racing.

It first opened May 4, 1905.



The Meadowlands Racetrack is a horse racing track at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

The track hosts both thoroughbred racing and harness racing; its first-ever harness race was run on September 1, 1976 while thoroughbred racing commenced on September 6, 1977. With the exception of the opening season of 1976, the autumn has been dedicated to the thoroughbreds, while the rest of the year features standardbreds, or harness horses.

The advertising campaign that accompanied the start of thoroughbred racing at the Meadowlands in 1977 was highly sophisticated and well-received, and was chiefly noted for its use of the song "Racing With The Moon," originally popularized in 1941 by bandleader Vaughn Monroe.
