Plus, the conductors take their sweet time leaving the track and often don't even open the doors until ten minutes or so before six.....leaving people out in the heat. I have pretty much stopped going because of this. The only alternative, if you don't have a ride, is to take the 3:47 train home and miss the final three races.
NYRA has pleaded with LIRR to stop this but they simply don't give a sh1t.

If they haven't already bought a ticket, they could walk to Queens Village and take the train from there, but your point is well taken.
I've stopped going to Belmont because (a.) it's a bitch to get out there and (b.) that ride home never seems to be a happy one.
