[Horse Racing Today @HorseRace2Day]

It's been a terribly sad day. Aqueduct shut their doors today, @coreylanerie ( 📸 Coady) ran his last race, and @FanDuel_Racing has said goodbye to most of their employees.

[Secretariat @Secretariatprmr]

Today is the final day of horse racing at New York's #AqueductRacetrack. We join in saying goodbye to the renowned venue where Secretariat tallied five of his first 12 career starts, including his very first start on July 4, 1972 and his first win 11 days later.

Today is a sad day in horse racing.

TVG/FanDuel is officially going away.

Am I surprised???

Not at all.

This is what decades of poor leadership, mismanagement, and a complete lack of vision looks like.

TVG/FanDuel wasn't just a television network.

It was horse racing's best marketing engine.

It created horseplayers. It created owners. It created lifelong fans.

For more than 25 years, TVG/FanDuel educated, entertained, and inspired people with passion, energy, integrity, and authenticity.

Nobody covered this sport better because nobody loved it more.

What a great team of people!!!!!

And now with the leadership entities in racing sitting on 100s of millions we're just letting it disappear. 🤦‍♂️

Don't underestimate what happens next.

Handle will decline.

Fewer fans will discover racing.

Fewer owners will enter the game.

More tracks will close.

This is so much more than losing a TV network.

This is accelerating the decline of an already struggling sport.

Personally, I wouldn't own 300+ racehorses today without TVG/FanDuel and I probably wouldn't even be the racing fan I am today without them.

Every interview and appearance on that network was an honor. Every person I met there genuinely loved horse racing and fought every day to make it better.

My heart breaks for every employee and every family affected. They all deserved better.  
♥️🙏 

Thank you TVG/FanDuel.

One last time for @FanDuel_Racing

[FanDuel Racing @FanDuel_Racing]

We're all gonna miss this. Thanks for all the memories! ❤️ 🩷 💙 🤍 💛 💚

The Kentucky team of @PascaleOnAir, @CBredar, & @MattCTVG give their thanks and say their final farewells as they close this chapter at FanDuel TV.

As Aqueduct celebrates its final day of racing, we look back at the track announcers whose calls helped bring generations of unforgettable moments to life.

[NYRA (🎪) @TheNYRA]

The Aqueduct Special was brought back this morning for one more ride to The Big A.

@andyserling was on board to share his memories of the @MTA train that once carried New York racing fans straight to Aqueduct Racetrack, and what it meant to take the trip one last time.
