Why would nyra go to that trouble to run in a small location with no easy air access and too few hotel rooms when Belmont is available?

Give it up.

I agree withe the equipment and clerk statement, but the rest of your post is way off base.

Saratoga and the surrounding areas have more then enough hotel rooms to put up with every ounce of media and attendees. No question.

Air access? I guess the 20-25 minute drive to Albany International is far to far for anyone to want to fly in for the BC.

Come on....
