For the horse racing fans. NY Post

quote:

the Saratoga race track is 1¼ miles, slightly shorter than Belmont, which is known for its legendary 1½ miles.

It’s not the same race at the shorter distance.

So Secretariat's record will get smashed, but with an asterisk.

Saratoga is a nicer track, althogh Belmont is not bad itself.

Out of the big 3 tracks, Belmont is the nicest, followed by Churchill and then Pimlico.

1 year deal, they are renovating pretty much all of belmont.

and adding a poly turf track, so when it rains, they can move it to poly, and majority of horses stay in the races, unlike when switched to dirt, 80% of them scratch. sucks for bettors, gulfstreams poly is garbage

Belmont is a better track. Saratoga is shaped like fairgrounds but it’s just much bigger- probably a furlong longer.

Hopefully SPAC doesn’t schedule a concert that weekend like this year when they had Travers and Phish on the same day.

By renovations I’m assuming better/more luxury boxes. I thought Belmont was fine when I went several years back.
