Why do I feel like this is post is really an attempt to get me to post a video or pic of someone stalking in a picnic table shirt and a dora the explorer backpack.

i've been there 5 of the last 6 times "to see history".......hats off if the 7th time gets it done.

and why would you want to battle the crowds in NY, when you and the regulars can just hang out at freehold and talk about the yankees?

From the New York Times article:

<<“There are larger crowds at the Derby and the Preakness, but they utilize their infields,” said Kay, who added that building tunnels to Belmont Park’s infield was under consideration.>>
