you probably could get 50% more machines in at belmont than than the big a

and then since belmont runs during the spring and the fall , we could have night racing, maybe sat night under the lights

yonkers is successful , i hope nyra can get it done to , it would help all involved
Belmont is fine just the way it is. Aqueduct seems to be the perfect place for a casino and restauraunt/hotel (if that's what their even planning). Not to mention that they might be able to attract some extra buisnees from some of the layover crowd from JFK across the street. They could probably set up some sort of shuttle and people will be able to kill a few hours at the Big A instead of sitting at a terminal.
I love the night racing idea, but I just don't think it's in the cards. This might sound crazy, but I think that Belmont is just big to try to light and it would cost NYRA an absolute fortune.
