Title: Will the Belmont Stakes Go Forward with the current Air Quality?
Post by: Generation XYZ on June 08, 2023, 10:04:23 AM

Seems that track officials are currently monitoring the air quality to determine the race schedule for the weekend.  Today has moved to a 3PM start delay, and no exercising. Lets hope the air quality improves soon.

Today was always scheduled for a 3PM first post but they did the right thing and canceled the card.  I think Saturday will go ahead as planned.

Lets hope.  The air quality numbers have dropped but not by huge numbers.
