My pops used to go every Saturday and sit in the grandstand with his friend Marty the teacher and a black guy whose name I forgot. Another time I remember spending time in the backyard and there was a band playing and the place was crowded. Another memory is a chili competition and the crowd was able to sample various Chili recipes, I remember a country western theme to the whole day as the day was sponsored by 103.5 which was a country station in New York during the 1980's. There was a big crowd in the Aqueduct backyard, a place long shuttered. <br /><br /> We still love the place but it needs to be maintained to a higher standard.G.

They replaced a lovely paddock like that with The Pit?<br /><br />What a ridiculously looking paddock they have in place today where the fans can't get close to the horses or the personalities. I know it was designed for "winter racing". But is there a more uglier paddock in American racing than the one at The Big A? <br /><br />Now enough of that. I'm glad you took the trip to Queens and told it like it is. Nothing personal against New Yorkers but everyone who attends lives and works near The Big A deserves much better than this neglected facility.<br /><br /><b>PS:</b> thanks for the link back to my blog pictures. It seems like this story keeps getting swept under the rug by the so called "Friends" of New York racing.<br /><br />Leave it to the true bloggers to get it out in the open. Hopefully progress will be made sooner rather than later on this issue. ;-)The_Knight_Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13497100877439699363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6037940159956945489.post-56812024780875405712009-11-26T13:40:01.511-05:002009-11-26T13:40:01.511-05:00Slam Bamm Bang!
