Why would nyra go to that trouble to run in a small location with no easy air access and too few hotel rooms when Belmont is available?
Give it up.

That's a very good point about the equipment ( tote machines and TVs would all have to be brought up ) and the costs of opening the plant like that would be prohibitive. Another reason it is a poor idea....however nice it sounds.
Actually, not that it matters, " air access " is easy, as Saratoga has an acceptable private airport and Albany airport is only 20 miles away. And there are plenty of hotels in a 30 mile radius.
