Wasn’t today (cancelled due to fog/slop) just the absolute fitting end to the miserable Fall season of racing at Belmont and Aqueduct? Since they left Saratoga it’s been an endless string of shitty weather, races-off-the-turf, short fields, scratches, etcetera, etcetera.
Anyway, I’m so glad that’s over and it’s on to the Inner Track, my favorite surface to handicap and watch. No silly turf races with indecipherable results, ALL the sprints are six furlongs, and one-mile races are run around two turns the way they’re supposed to be. YIPPEE!!!
Oh wait, I forgot....
