Frankly, the most annoying people on Belmont day are the once-a-year goers who bet the Belmont at 1:30 in the afternoon with 3 minutes to post on another race; it confuses the hell out of the already barely-competent mutuel clerk and slows up the line for no good reason. What I'd love to see them try is a bunch of windows devoted only to Belmont Stakes wagers.El Angelohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14145024095815950963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-6790635879849525752008-06-02T23:13:00.000-04:002008-06-02T23:13:00.000-04:00Agreed on finding a place to bet.

Belmont Park is Huge, and if you explore and are good at figuring things out, you will get your bets in for every race. I find it funny when people complain about big crowds for big events.This is NY, we get crowds for big events-think Yankees, Rangers, Giants etc. This is a big event with a horse with NY connections-people will come out, some will stay home because of gas prices, but alot (my guess over 100,000 plus) will be there and we will all survive. And we, most anyway, will have fun. After all we are at the track !SaratogaSpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05181152277681879529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-31063586178859386822008-06-02T20:35:00.000-04:002008-06-02T20:35:00.000-04:00RE: I prefer however to keep my secret proprietary...RE: I prefer however to keep my secret proprietary information to myself.<BR/><BR/>Thats it Alan give us the shaft.<BR/><BR/>RE: maybe I'll talk about getting there on the back roads...<BR/><BR/> maybe u should keep that secret back road info to yourself and keep ur once and a while winning joke piks to yourself also.
