These drawings look a lot like European racetracks, which for the most part look very modern and don't try and look like the old facilities they replaced.
NYRA is trying to build something that will be nice and luxurious and full of amenities in the hope of attracting people back to the track. Good for them.

If Christopher Wren were picked as the architect for this project, I would also give him a wide berth.
