So that was YOU next to me at the rail this past Wood!

Seriously, I love live racing. I love watching the horses in the ring, I love walking back and forth to the track; I love standing in line to bet and listening the people around me; I love being in the sunshine all day (or the pouring rain- I remember shivering in the rain for two hours before Funny Cide's Belmont so I wouldn't lose my spot at the rail) I love it all. And I love Belmont and love the train ride out. Maybe I'm just a junkie for mass transit. Or just a junkie for horses.

Thanks for the clarification on the tracks closing, BB. I don't know why I thought it was more than a few tracks... go figure.
