Belmont is huge. I think they should install a full fledged casino on the ground floor, complete with shops and real restaurants and build a 2000 room hotel where the LIRR stop is, at the 1/4 pole with all rooms facing the track. There is still plenty of room for horse racing on the upper floors. For BC day they can install the bleachers on the apron, and for the Belmont they can open the infield like they do at churchill and Pimlico.

i think they need to advertise big payouts and big carryovers ala powerball and its billboards. quit pretending gambling isn't a part of the sport, they need to quit trying to just play horse racing off as pageantry and beauty. come here, win big! they needed to play up the folks that hit the big pick 6 with a couple bucks a few months ago. let people know that they have a chance to win with something using more than just random luck and picking the right video poker machine. read the form, make an educated (maybe) guess. or just use your lucky numbers!
