All kidding aside, Belmont is only fifteen minutes from the Throggs Neck Bridge with no traffic. I'm there at least twice a week during the Summer (the Saratoga meet notwithstanding).

1) Saratoga
2) Belmont
3) Gulfstream

Those are my three favorite tracks to bet live and in person.

My NYRA Rewards Internet account allows me to bet anywhere. Track prices. Best thing to hit the Internet since Amazon Prime .
