Oh? How big is it?

Go look. I'm sure Belmont will seem like a canter through an open meadow compared to Sha Tin.

If my math is right (for circumference):

Sha Tin
1899 meters
or 1.17998 miles

Belmont
2414.016 meters
or 1.5 miles

Look at the turns and chutes leading into it, and the setup of the track itself (downtown, the stands, highrises next to it, etc) I'm sure Take has more than enough experience on the various big stages of the world to handle Belmont.

One other thing I noticed about Casino Drive (and his entry mate in the Peter Pan) is that nobody has yet mentioned the medication thing - which sorta surprises me.

Fernando Jara would be a good choice

Victor Espinoza. Let him pose for pictures on Casino Drive with his yellow Ferrari in the background.

Exactly, the statistics say he has a 100 percent success ratio riding Better Than Honor offspring in the Belmont Stakes. Would seem to be a simple choice!! But of course John Velasquez has the same success ratio in the same circumstance clouding the choice somewhat.

Take has no experience in the Belmont. That's pretty clear.
