I have no idea what that's supposed to mean.

I'll play along though,
First thing is, there is no comparison size wise between Belmont and Saratoga, so based on a pure buisness decision the BC will choose Belmont 100 times out of 100.

Then there is the whole logistics of the deal, why in the world would NYRA want to ship everything upstate again when they will already be at the better suited facility? Like Paul said, the event is a loser for the host. Now you want them to re-open Saratoga for a 2 day event?


But you're right it's not you

Maybe you should consider nominating Suffolk next time...................

You forgot perhaps the biggest thing. Weather

Don't be too quick there. Suffolk could be a world class resort soon.

I'm catching up on stuff so excuse me for being late to the party here but I'm so disappointed.

I was really hoping for Belmont.

This sucks.

Thankfully, this foolish notion has been put aside at least for a year
