make it permanent
Time to stop pretending that racing is what it ever was
Play to our strengths, move the Belmont Stakes to Saratoga permanently, run it as part of a short Spring meet
Racing globally is strong, HK is fine, Japan is booming, likewise fine in the Middle East and managing well in Ireland, France, even if the UK is a mess in general, that's a different story
Here our strengths are Del Mar, Keeneland, Woodbine (yes, this is North America), Saratoga, Turfway off season, Churchill needs to get its act together, then that as well would qualify
Bring back a strong Pimlico too (and race at Fair Hill!) but NYC racing will never be what it was - how long has Belmont been a ghost town other than Saturday?
Stop pretending, play to our strengths
