Aqueduct Racetrack Aqueduct Racetrack, also known as the Big A, is the only racetrack in New York City, occupying 210 acres in South Ozone Park in the borough of Queens. Over the past three years, the New York Racing Association has invested more that $14 million in capital improvements at Aqueduct, showcasing a continued focus on enhancing the guest experience and improving the quality of racing.
Another popular theory connects the term to an actual bullpen that existed at the Polo Grounds in New York in the late 1800s. Pitchers would use an area near the bullpen to warm up, and so the name stuck. Others claim that the area was originally a place to put fans who bought cheap tickets and that they were herded into the spot like cattle. One of the most likely interpretations simply comes from the cattle industry.
