Yeah, I remember. But a good time outweighs quite a bit of bad weather, I guess.

No argument with that. It was a great and memorable day.

Say Belmont had run the BC this weekend, like Justin said.

Is he actually blaming NYRA for not knowing there'd be bad weather this weekend, as opposed to next weekend, when they selected CD for the 2011 BC?

I honestly hope he really is not the real Justin Dew.

All I am really saying is that Belmont should never get the BC. CD or SA should get it every year. And I would not be opposed to seeing it given to CD every year either.

And yes, I do blame NYRA for the weather.

I guess Belmont should build a dome.

This makes no sense. The weather can be just as bad in Louisville as it can in New York in November.

that's right. so, since justin says he blames nyra for the weather, i think one can just ignore what he says on this subject altogether. he's obviously insane.

The extended weather outlook for this weekend in 2013 calls for rain, wind, and cold in the New York City area. 2014 looks OK, but Louisville's outlook is better for one week later. So I don't think it makes sense to award it to Belmont, when you also consider the fact that handle will almost certainly be lower and none of the dirt races start in front of the grandstand.

so, if the weather was great, one would have to conclude that you'd still have an issue with it being at belmont. handle is a red herring, as it seems no track has ky-like numbers.

if you're anti-ny, just say so instead of going on about the weather. ny certainly doesn't have a monopoly on bad weather. it's a chance you take when you choose that time of year for races.

Justin has proven this true on a consistent basis.

False. At least five of my 1,500+ posts have been solid.
