After the Boston Marathon bombing, the folks from the Triple Crown tracks increased security protocols, such as eliminating back packs and such. The camera ban included no cameras with detachable lenses or lenses over 6" long. Although, I did find it interesting that Breeders Cup/Santa Anita posed no such restrictions last year. I usually don't apply for credentials Belmont day because I hang by the rail with regulars (since 1979) and we have a good time.
For those interested I rented a Sony RX-10. For the money it's an outstanding camera. Highly recommended.
