Will it really add that much to the Belmont Day experience for the card to now include the Met Mile, Phipps, and Acorn? If anything, I think it will diminish the fans' appreciation of some of the stakes run that day. I'm not advocating for a return to the days when important stakes would be bookended by mere allowance races, but this move falls into the category of too much of a good thing.
