Between Albany and Lake George there are more than enough hotels. I know in the past The NTRA has contacted NYRA about it but NYRA used the excuse of the weather and accomadations, which is pure and utter BS. The only reason they don't is because Belmont and Saratoga share the "guts" and it is a major overhaul to do for just one day.
Now I am not saying having it on a regular rotation but just once, just once have it at the place that was the birthplace of "organized" horse racing in our country. It's the olderst race track still running and the place has played host to some of the most treasured moments in horse racing. It would be such an event and spectacle that every horse fan would want to be a part of. It would have a similiar effect to when the All-Star game was held at Fenway. It is a perfect analogy, The place is tiny but them made it work. And it was great for baseball. If they can pull it off there, they can sacrafice the overhaul from Belmont to Saratoga JUST ONCE!!!!!!
