you ran up to the windows immediately after the preceding race to make your bet on the next race(s).
Those having wagering accounts via the internet no longer have to deal
with that problem.
The weather issue could be eliminated by enclosing the grandstand; I am no longer living in NY, so I believe the cold weather issue continues. In the event
the grandstand area was enclosed I would believe Belmont/Aqueduct could draw
the large crowds that arrive on Belmont day.
My question would center on Grass racing in November, especially in the case of snow; Id believe NYRA would cancel grass racing which, in theory,
would not occur in California.

i beleive your off by 30 years as aqu hosted in 1985,turf racing would not be a problem as they race on the turf til december.may even draw more euros as the turf course has some give in it at that time of year which they would prefer over the hard course in california.
