First-time Belmont Stakes Trip
Wanted to get some advice on making the trip to the Belmont Stakes this year.
There is a group of about six of us and we we're debating just getting seats in the backyard or getting reserved seating. Is it like Saratoga where if you're not there at 5AM on Travers day you can't get a table or a spot? Thanks for any help/advice. |

Depends if there is a Triple Crown on the line.
If there is none, the track is so spacious you don't have to worry about it. NYRA sent out an e-mail this morning about their new Belmont Stakes website, this might help you further: http://www.belmontstakes.com/ |

Yeah, they sent me a ticket form, but the group I'm with wants to go the backyard route and just scalp tickets if we need to.

Thanks |

Cardus thanks.
My friend was able to find seats in the upper tier, 3Q, Row T (they said that was 2nd row of the upper tier, we'll see) for like $30 each. Figured that was a good deal. Labeled "Preferred Grandstand" whatever that means. Any other tips or suggestions for the day are welcome! |

Thanks for all the replies. Sounds like my Yankee Fan friend did okay. But of an upset there.
If I were sending someone to Saratoga, I might mention to them to of course eat at Carolina BBQ. And if they'd already sampled the fine food there, grab a Hattie's sandwich. Is there a must-eat at place at Belmont? |

Nothing on track to rave about in my opinion.
I did have a stuffed veal chop at King Umberto's last Saturday that was absolutely out of this world. Baked clams there get the full 4 stars as well... |

Anywhere that DTers are meeting up tomorrow? I've decided to make the trip down.

It could be worse, I could be a 7 foot over protective Italian who is anti-gambling/alcohol.

Enjoy it, without a triple crown on the line Belmont Stakes day is one of the more enjoyable days you can have Belmont Park, the facility is huge and will easily handle the crowd on hand making it a great racetrack experience! |
