Just read on the NYRA site that they now are going with FREE ADMISSION and parking till Sunday and reduced food prices. Think they are reacting to fuel prices and their diminishing attendance like other recreational areas are doing. Just heard on CNBC this AM that resorts/amusements parks are giving away similar perks to try to keep attendance levels up this summer.

BTW: As a person who goes many days to Bel, have you seen or read of any drop in attendance so far in the spring meet? I have not gone yet this spring to see for myself. Thanks.
