Well the new building is about 1/4 the size of the old one. Guessing it offers all the amenities of today, costs way less to heat and cool and reduced maintenance. Other than the big days, the Belmont Stakes and maybe a Breeders Cup, the new building looks like it fits the attendance for modern day thoroughbred racing.
