I would just as soon move the Super Bowl's away from Joe Robby er Pro Player er Dolphins Stadium and back to the Orange Bowl before I would take away a Breeders Cup (or any other major racing event) from Belmont, CD, etc and put it at Hialeah Park (at least the 1990's / 2000's version of Hialeah Park).

Next time they run the Breeders Cup at Belmont they should move the entire racing schedule up 1 month. I'm getting tired of spending 6 hours outside on an overcast day with 40 degree temps and that misty rain falling that seems to show up each time the big day is held in NY.

Monmouth is going to be even worse this year. At least at Belmont you can fit 65,000 people inside in between races. If it is nasty weather this year it will like riding the E train at rush hour inside that tiny little racetrack.

I've never found the E train to be that bad.

I used to ride the Aqueduct Special with my Grandmother 25 - 30 years ago.
