Opening day of the Spring meet at beautiful Belmont.
A day I always looked forward to when I lived down there.
Problem is, the place looks deserted.
More people on site are working with the horses or are connected to the horses in some way.
Appears to be very few fans there.
Can't blame the public though, the place is like an ice box. Built to be a Summer track, the grandstand faces North.
At least they have more than four or five horses in a race.
Can they ever get the public interested again on Long Island?
Seems they're going to try.
They're going to spend fortune renovating the place over the next few years.
Hope it's worth it.
