Has anyone confirmed the # of races Saturday and how many, if any, are after the Belmont.

NYRA and the LIRR should have decided on race sequences and train schedules by now. Unfortunately, they seem to relish the 11th hour notices that hamstring attendees planning.

Thanks in advance, I haven't been since Sunday was Silenced and the cheap seats seemed to move with the grandstand structure from the 1/4 pole on.

It's Pharoah's race to win or lose, I don't doubt he's the genuine article and will gladly just watch history unfold.

A fine and prosperous June 6th to all.

It would be a bonus if NYRA would take advance bets Friday for the entire card, and anyone could enjoy the day and scene without wasting half the day in mutuels.

NYRA tweeted the other day to expect 1 1/2 to 2 hour delays leaving the track.

I created a thread with this earlier in the week when it was released.

The only long delay that they noted was the possible LIRR boarding.

Hopefully there will not be 2 hour delays for everyone with cars, shuttles, routes added, etc.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen...easy to sort preferences now.

Either early LIRR going with MTA Q2, Q110 to Jamaica, E train to 14th St returning.

If flush after Friday, Rally bus from 39th/8th Ave...$55 RT but WI/FI, movies, good A/C, wine/beer, heroes and coolers welcomed on locked dedicated Tour Bus.

Weather looks perfect, big balloons aplenty to all.

Summer starts here! NYRA got that right!

That’s one kick-ass card. Six G1’s , two G2’s , and one G3. Very similar to last year. Best outside of Breeders Cup. Oh baby!
:cool:

Probably even better than the Friday Breeder's Cup card. Especially with AP going for the Triple Crown. Just a fantastic race card.

Kudos to NYRA and Belmont Park.:ThmbUp:

Woody Stephens is 2nd race. Ogden Phipps is 5th race. Would have rather seen the all grade 1 pick 6.

Pretty good card...
A couple of the graded stakes have shorter fields, but the pick 6 and late pick 4 ends of the card have full fields with the Belmont Stakes as the shortest with 8 starters.
