Basically correct, but the relative difference between the turns at CD and Belmont (and all racetrack turns) is much less than in your merry-go-round example. And if those who build racetracks know what they are doing (?), the banking will be different for different sized turns. If you ever walk around a half mile trotter track you'll be stunned at how extreme the banking is.
