Taking my 10 year old to the Belmont

[athornton5]

Thanks alot for the responses, very helpful. It sounds like the seats are good, so thats a plus. Luckily my son actually has real good patients and kinda just goes with the flow, thats mainly the reason im taking him, because i think he can handle it. Hopefully AP wins the preakness and makes our day that much sweeter. Thanks again, and any other tips you have are always appreciated.

Don't take the train, getting out of there in 2004 was crazy.

So true. That was the last time my husband came with me to the Belmont. The LIRR trip back broke his spirit. He'll go other race days, but never again on Belmont Stakes Day.

yes the TC bid will be memorable but it also leads to a total structural breakdown. With a 10 year old I would actually be hoping for a non tc bid. I'm 31 and it was a nightmare there last year....
