Back to Belmont
More than half the 1800 horses stabled at Saratoga have moved back to Belmont Park, where racing begins on Friday, leaving the backside looking like a ghost town and some trainers feeling blue. “As far as I’m concerned [Saratoga] is the last remaining treasure in racing … Belmont Park is a thing of beauty but other than days like the Belmont Stakes or a nice fall day of racing, nothing is happening down there. It is always happening up here. Every day is a party,” Nick Zito tells the Times Union.
