I was there for the 2004 Belmont, and of all the Triple Crown races I've gone to with my own vehicle, it was by far the easiest in terms of traffic to leave after the race. The key is to park out in the hinterland where one has to take a bus to get to the track.

You know, I'd rather just get there early, spend the $10 to get in the track, then scope out a spot by the rail very early and not give it up with your life. That's way easier than paying the heft sums you'll have to pay on eBay to watch the race.

Hypothetically if i was looking for a hotel near belmont what area should i be looking in?
Not a big fan of the city so i’m basically looking for a place to park and take a cab to the track, and i noticed a BB that claims its 1 mile from belmont at a reasonable price.

Thanks for all your help

I'm staying at JFK, Hilton, supposedly 7 miles from Belmont.
Plan on cabbing it to Belmont. Is there an easier way. I have a ride back to the hotel friday.
What about on Saturday, are there cabs available when it's over?

Was planning on just wandering with general admission, any other suggestions?
