Belmont has a really nice players club for clients who wager 300,000 a year or more. It is manned by security, an attendant who is there for all your needs and all players know each other real well. It has assigned seating, you face the paddock (and the sun) and have glass windows not thick dark walls. If you feel like taking a walk to the back yard to tan between races, you can. If you want to walk to the apron and just hang out , you can. You can do all this while your belongings ($1000 lap top, notes, cell phone) are safe in that air conditioning sun filled room.
You don't have that feeling of security and comfort at the Aqueduct version of this room. Aqu is available via public transportation (subway and bus) and has that disgusting racino attached to it so it attracts all sort of scum.

Gotcha. I'm always shocked how often people take pp's, food or other things on peoples tables in OTB areas while they're up. I once watched a guy go up and grab a slice of pizza of a woman's table while she was up making a bet.
