About two weeks back (perhaps more), NYRA President Chris Kay mentioned that general admission ($10) and clubhouse admission ($30) might be closed earlier than the actual post-time (11:30am) on Saturday.
In the report that I read, Kay mentioned that he did not want to stuff 120,000+ people into the facility and would rather keep the headcount manageable in the 100,000 range. Whether or not this turns out to be the case remains to be seen; however, anything you can do to make your admission process simpler will be to your benefit. This includes advance purchasing for the 146th Belmont Stakes program.
