Couldn't have been much more than 5,000 people on Stars & Stripes Day at Belmont with Perfect weather, 6 graded stakes, 2 G1s, the Suburban, a Food Truck Festival, a baseball Cap giveaway, petting zoo, pony rides and a post card concert by a Grammy winning Christian Rock Band.
Only things missing were a monkey riding a bicycle and Trump.
Need to attract betting customers first, then bring in the casual fan. But Belmont just too big. Never coming back to a time where anything except a Breeders Cup or Triple Crown race flatters the facility.
