Concerts DURING the races are a good idea. They do this at Belmont. Perfect for families. When they get bored you park them in front of the music for awhile -- and dad can squeeze in a few more races and everyone is happy. If you have the room, why not capitalize on it? It does not hurt any of the "tradition" as far as I can see. I am not the kind of "fan" this kind of thing will sway one way or another, but I think this is generally a positive since it shows that the management/promo dept. of the track is thinking of SOMETHING to earn their money. It may actually get a few more folks out to the track... You'd be surprised. HP
