I don't get the constant harping about gate scratches at Belmont. There was an issue with the gate crew a few summers ago at Saratoga, and NYRA addressed it. Now, the "gate scratches" that are referenced are typically vet scratches because a horse did not warm up well, or is showing signs of unsoundness. How can any bettor in his right mind complain when the track/vets are acting to protect the horse and the bettor?
