QUOTE:Aqueduct will stay open for training by Paul
Post

The New York Racing Association has shelved a cost-cutting
plan to eliminate training at Aqueduct but will take drastic steps to
stay open through the Belmont Park and Saratoga Race Course meetings.
Previously, NYRA said it could save $300,000 per month by shutting
down Aqueduct training when racing shifts to Belmont in late April.
Plans called for moving about 400 horses from Aqueduct to Belmont,
Saratoga and perhaps some out-of-state tracks.
