I noticed on ESPN today they had a commercial for the Belmont Stakes. It was a pathetic quick spot, they had absolutely no way to market this year's running of the Belmont, lacking both Barbaro and Bernardini. To the general public, this Belmont will mean nothing and this should be one of the worst ratings in years. The card itself is great but the general public doesnt care about that, only the hardcore fans and the compulsive gamblers. That makes up for less than 1/2 of the crowd NYRA is looking for.
Barabro is a feel good story but nothing can save this weekend's Belmont. Who cares about Blueglass Cat and Sunriver?
