Horsemen's Relations Department

Office Location & Hours

The Aqueduct Horsemen's Relations office is located across from the horsemen’s area of the Racing Office in the basement. Horsemen's Relations works an Aqueduct racing schedule of Wednesday through Sunday, 8:30am to 4:30pm, with some holiday exceptions. The office will be closed for winter holiday beginning December 20, returning on December 30. There will be holiday racing on Monday, February 21, meaning the office will be closed on Wednesday of that week.


Horsemen Hospitality

The Horsemen’s Lounge, located on the second level of the clubhouse, is open to any horseman with a current NYRA ID Badge. The lounge offers a view of the track and paddock, light snacks and soft beverages, and seating every race day. The box seating area is also accessible through the lounge for those who wish to view the races outside. Please check in with your NYRA ID for a wristband to access the lounge and box seating area throughout the race day. 

The Equestris dining room is located on the third level of the clubhouse and is open on Saturdays as well as Friday, November 25 and Sunday, December 4. Reservations are preferred and can be made with the Horsemen’s Relations department.
