Belmont Stakes Triple Crown Champion
HUGE crowd made it difficult getting to and from event. Long lines for bathrooms and food. Seats were good, but view of finish line partially blocked. Electronic tickets went through scanner very smooth. Trouble finding seats in huge venue with no-one to help. Big errors by New York Racing Association (NYRA) not having enough places to watch the race -Found a few tiny, blurry TVs but not nearly enough with 90,000 people crowded around to watch the races. Sound systems were inaudible - so paying for the trip and tickets and trains and $12 beers, fighting crowds, waiting half an hour to go to the toilet or get food and not being able to see or hear the races is your thing - run out and get a ticket for next year. Glad there was an awesome horse who made history, and glad I got to see it on replay on TV at home.
