After brief consideration . . . and some Woodford on the rocks . . . perhaps it's best that a song is used to which the crowd cannot sing along. Invariably I cringe as the TV mic picks up a segment of the crowd singing pathetically off-key. Last month I distinctly heard a chorus or horrible attempts during the playing of my beloved My Old Kentucky Home, which thank God is played (not sung) each year by a university band that does the job right. Note to NBC: A mic on the band ONLY will suffice, thank you. Don't put one on the drunks in the crowd. And while Sinatra was one of the best, the sight of folks arm in arm attempting to dance step to NYNY would be a signal that it's a good time to hit the head before the race.

After demise of NYRA and legalization of pari-mutuel betting in Georgia, Belmont will move to new Atlanta track and Ray Charles' rendition of Georgia on My Mind will be played... or Willie Nelson's. Damn, here we go again... or Sweet Georgia Brown...

I always thought they played "New York Groove" off the Ace Frehley solo album back in the late 70's.

Nothing says Belmont Stakes to me like ^  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Em5UYOs0Mg One presumes that they won't be using this version ^  (includes lyrics, not for the squeamish...)

The song is as relevant as a 1.5 mile spring race for 3yo without a Triple Crown bid on the line.

I'm a big Sinatra fan, but ESoM was the city's anthem last year and they obviously want to go in a more youthful direction. NY, NY gets played every goddamn game at Yankee Stadium, it's not as if there's nowhere to hear it anymore.
