and i may be clearly biased having spent the better part of my young life in chicago, but when i think of great places to see races I think of Arlington.

While I've never been to Belmont on a big race day, when I did go there on a regular weekend when I was in New York once, I was not that impressed with anything other than the size of the ovals. I suppose to each his own, but I found it dirty and dingy and unimpressive aesthetically.

Most of it probably has to do with the quality of racing in Chicago these days, people don't think of Chicago as a great racing town because there isn't great racing -- but there IS a great racetrack. personal preference i suppose.
