I guess that New Yorkers are more civilized and neater than Kentuckians and Baltimorians.

That used to be the case, but not anymore, it is closed the day after the Belmont. I believe the last time they were open on the Sunday after was when Artie Schiller won a turf stakes. The problem after such a big day is that no one goes to the track the day after.
