I hope neither the NYRA brain trust nor the Albany anti-racing faction does anything to diminish Belmont Stakes day. It’s an opportunity for both to share the spotlight, and for racing to show the strength of its following. The Gov. better muzzle Mister Megna, and silence Signor Sabini unless all involved are willing to lower takeout starting on Belmont Day and usher in a new era of customer appreciation to accompany the Triple Crown attempt.
