2023 Horse Racing

They are looking at running the Belmont stakes at Saratoga in 2025.. that could be interesting

Wow I missed that - why?

I didn't see that. Do you have a link? They would have to open the infield or be happy with "only" 50,000 fans.

Renovations at Belmont

 

[Newhouser]

Belmont is planning a major construction project after the 24 race so Toga and Aqueduct were mentioned as possible sites.

 

[upperdeck]

yup.. The track will not be able to hold fans for an event like that.

A Belmont Stakes at Saratoga? It's an Option

After 2024, the New York Racing Association will have to find a temporary home for the Belmont Stakes (G1) while construction continues at Belmont Park.

Belmont will be under renovations.

Watched it live as a little kid and still recognized that it was a performance I would probably never see again and I haven't. Sham picked the wrong time to be a 3 year old - give him credit for taking on Big Red but wow...unforgettable.

I know the renovations have been planned but interesting time to be spending big on horse racing venues. I fear for the future of the sport and like the NCAA - nobody to blame but themselves.

Hoping Forte regresses again after the issues today. Betting Against Pletcher today.

Anyone having any luck today? I had the tri for a buck in the Jaipur. Other than that just the usual near misses. Still undecided on the Belmont.

Alive in the late p5 with some good cover in the final 2 races (with a lot of others). Hoping something long surfaces in the next 2. Cody’s wish was outstanding.

Since when is every other commercial for horse sperm?

 

[phillydad]

Keying 6 over 3/4/7 in the Belmont.

Saratoga bucket hat giveaway on Friday 8/19. Should be popular. Also no more clubhouse upcharge. All the riffraff will be running around there. Extremely not happy.
