I guess I really don't understand the reasoning behind this. Weather? All-Weather track? It's just strange? Where's the outrage from NYRA, Churchill Downs, etc. etc.? What happens if the 2008 edition sucks? Risky play here.

Thanks to the NYRA-Joe Bruno impass and franchise concerns, I don't think Belmont was even considered

One may also wonder if NYRA may bid for each of there tracks and not just Belmont

It should be this (I need to be put in charge)

Rotation between....

Churchill, Belmont, Santa Anita, X

X =

Arlington, Monmouth, Lone Star, Woodbine, Somewhere in Europe (maybe), Dubai (Maybe)...Hialeah (if restored), and I can't think of any others.

I enjoyed the BC at Hollywood, but I guess that place's days are numbered.
