Truth be told, I love Belmont. I lost Roosevelt, Parr/Suffolk Meadows in my lifetime ... and will not stop supporting Belmont ... but I have clearly lost the plot on what it means to get people to the track.
If they could somehow incorporate program/admission for $10. I feel like that would make sense. Not everyone would buy a program, so you kinda force those peoples hands. I cant remember the last time I bought the track issue one, but it cant be more then $4 right?
