so, if the weather was great, one would have to conclude that you'd still have an issue with it being at belmont. handle is a red herring, as it seems no track has ky-like numbers.
if you're anti-ny, just say so instead of going on about the weather. ny certainly doesn't have a monopoly on bad weather. it's a chance you take when you choose that time of year for races.
