Frankly, the BC should do the right thing and announce they've made a deal to run it this year at Belmont. To risk running on a completely new and unproven surface is a major disservice to horse racing whether you are pro-synthetics or not.

and the announcement about next year being there as well.

this year on dirt, next year on synthetic?



i have said since word of issues with the track first came out that they should have the bc elsewhere this year. let santa anita do what they have to do..go there next year. hopefully by then all problems will have been solved.
