However, what makes it different also makes it fairer.

The funny thing about Belmont is that while many tracks seem to get souped up for big days Belmont sometimes seems to get a dead rail....like BC day in 2001. Of course, in the old days, Belmont's rail was almost always dead.

Is there a specific reason for that? The dead rail that is.. or is it just the layout of the track?
