Belmont
After a absence of 25 years i returned to Belmont this past Friday (October 5th) and was amazed at how great the grand old race track looked. I was also amazed at how empty she was with a sprinkling of players for a terrible Friday card that started out with a field of 4 of which there was an entry....
It was strange in a way to be there and i could only think what a waste of a beautiful race track and huge space.... Something needs to be done and slots are an obvious answer to generate additional funds for the track and the owners...... I believe the only obstacle would be some of the residents in Floral Park...... It was amazing after almost 20 plus years of not being at Saratoga to see the transformation from an almost dead track (yes Saratoga was struggling) to what it has become today and on the opposite end at Belmont to a dying track today as far as attendence....
