Message: [QUOTE="IthacaBarrel, post: 5441763, member: 363"] I think there will be a pretty solid crowd today but the weather looks suspect to say the least. Looks like a ton of rain from 12 noon until 10 pm. Crowd should be solid tomorrow as it's the actual Belmont but I have to imagine the novelty of actually having the Belmont in Saratoga probably has worn off a bit after the first year and certainly not a cheap ticket. Driving up from Ithaca tomorrow morning, hopefully the weather holds up. I also think the town is taking advantage of the short 5 day meet considering the pricing of everything. Yes, it's Saratoga but it just feels weird not being late July / August. It's still better than having it at Aqueduct but it still feels weird not having the Belmont at Belmont but not much you can do until the construction is completed. Hopefully, the rain today doesn't ruin some of the turf stakes but it looks pretty bad today. [/QUOTE]
