Aqueduct races are still run at 9 furlongs - if they wanted to the trackcould have scheduled at least one of those races yeerday for that distance.
That said, I've felt for years that they should add a second finish line at the 1/16 pole (like Keeneland, and another track I don't like to mention) to enable the running of 1-1/16-mile races.
(This could be worked into a better 3-yo early season series for the TC preps.)
This would require some imagination from the people running NYRA.

You mean imagination as in running 7 1/2-furlong turf races?
