Met Mile, other stakes moved to Belmont Day

[pmayjr]

Here's the thing- The Met being on Memorial Day/Memorial weekend: I think people's family/friend/work plans dictate whether they have time to go to Belmont/simulcast regardless if the Met Mile is happening or not.

So I don't see how there would be THAT much of drop-off in handle/attendance that weekend, because holiday weekend plans are holiday weekend plans. I mean sure, a big G1 race like that can only help those numbers, but I don't think the impact is that big.
