Pretty Sure
That once the synthetic track is ready and Belmont is ready that Aqu. will be torn down and Belmont will be used all year round except for the summer meet at the Spa. They are putting in lights for night racing, the syn tracks are getting better and they are easier and cheaper to maintain. Mark Casse spoke about this, The racing days will not be cancelled and the meet handles will go up. Dirt racing is dying in a way and what happened at the Spa this summer, and I am not saying that could not happen on synthetic but the analytics are pointing to the fact that they are turning out to be the safer alternative. The Breeders Cup... has not returned since they tried it once but it was years ago and the technology has changed and so has weather i.e climate.
The powers that be are not being progressive enough in their thinking when it comes to racing and they wonder why people flock to online gaming and the casino's. Too bad, I would rather watch horse racing and learn a unique sport that sitting in front of machine watching it spin.
