Belmont Park is adding a synthetic track for 2024 meet

[Tom]

So I'm wondering, if Aqu does close, and Belmont runs 10 months, will they call the winter meet AQB? (AQU AT BEL)

Yes they did, handle was down more than 25% during their 2021-2022 ChampionshiT meet, don’t have the figures for 2022-2023 but it’s probably down a lot from what they handled pretapita .

Could one reason be the condition of the "New" turf course? Maybe they should've just kept the green painted dirt?

Tom, I read Santa Anita will run a Hollywood meet. Give it your best shot at that 3 letter code.
