I like it, with exception of the track with the potholes in it.

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

After seeing the use of the Statue of Liberty in the Belmont logo, I immediately thought of this part of the sonnet in the context of the horse racing fan. Tempest-tost, indeed.
