Met Mile, other stakes moved to Belmont Day

[Stickhorse]

The new Super Belmont Day will not increase the crowd and possibly not the handle in my opinion. First of all it is very difficult to measure if it is a success or not because if there is a Triple Crown in the balance a huge crowd will turn out anyway. If no Triple Crown is possible still a nice crowd turns out regardless. At least that was my observation about the past.

In the past the Memorial Day card was a pretty darn good for we, several day a week, simulcast players. So my wagering will probably only be made on Belmont Day now instead of both Belmont and Memorial Day. I will most likely just pay attention to my home circuit SoCal races and probably Arlington which I seem to have decent results during that time of year.
