Only reason I can think of that any WINNING gambler would rather bet at the track rather than online.

Belmont day will be crazy full at least for the first few years. As far as betting at the track, as Sheffwed mentioned , on track bookmakers offering fixed odds like they have in Europe would be interesting, but probably unrealistic.
As far as road traffic, there is a train that goes to Belmont, at least there was the last time I went.
The only elephant in the room, as far as I can see is, when are they going to upgrade Saratoga?
