Churchill closed today, why?

Attendance was 155,804. Pretty good considering all the rain. The crowd for the Kentucky Oaks on Friday broke the all-time record and was 116,046.

I guess that New Yorkers are more civilized and neater than Kentuckians and Baltimorians.

That used to be the case, but not anymore, it is closed the day after the Belmont. I believe the last time they were open on the Sunday after was when Artie Schiller won a turf stakes. The problem after such a big day is that no one goes to the track the day after.

Everyone is either tapped or still piss drunk

everyone has to go to church today to confess their sins from yesterday. either that or pray to the porcelain gods that they'll never imbibe again, if the pain will just go away!
