Belmont day was excellent maybe because of attendance. I have a feeling the missing were generally $2 dollar Belmont Stakes bettors so add another 20 thousand and you possibly get an extra 40K in handle but 15 deep lines at the tellers. I think I saw the most exciting live race in my life and the trip from Chicago was well worth it.
Still not used to police carrying M-16's, though and although now common in NYC, it's still kind of strange for me, especially at a crowded racetrack.
