It will be unbelievably crowded wherever you go. If you have any idea of getting a bench, they'll be thousands waiting to get in at 9AM. Will run like banshees to grab their bench. These are pro's. They know exactly where they are going and have serious gate speed.
If you want anything to eat or drink, get it early. If you want to bet anything, do it early. Expect the unexpected. Everything you do will be a chore. One thing of note, don't judge Belmont by this day. This is unlike any other day. Go there some other Saturday and it will be a different world. You'll be able to roam all over the place and will have a great time. Enjoy your day, whatever happens. Hopefully you'll be there for something you can tell your grandchildren about

Oh! Also, earlier in the day before it gets too crazy, go all the way up to the top level and take a moment to stand at the entrance to the reserved seats and just look at the track.

You'll live. It's not a day at the races, it's an event.
It will be a PITA, but you can be part of history.
