I think it's great to be near the track and all, but if you're coming from far away (and I'm assuming that Rootdog is given how often he plays SoCal racing), there's no reason NOT to stay in the city for Belmont weekend.
Oh, and the train is absolutely the way to go. If one goes early, there's virtually zero line, and with a Triple Crown not on the line, the crowd will be in the 60-ish thousand range and not 100k plus (as it was in, say, 2008), and one shouldn't have to wait too terribly long for the LIRR postrace.
