Going to Belmont Park for the first time.
 

Hi, I'm going to Belmont Park for the first time for the Belmont Stakes. I just need to know if video cameras are allowed inside. Also, I will be going on friday so if anyone has any suggestions of fun things to do let me know.. Thanks.

I don't know for sure about video cameras (I'm assuming no), but my advice is to get there very very early. It is going to be a zoo. It usually is on Stakes day, but more so now that there is a horse going after the Triple Crown.

GO SMARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He deserves the Triple! I'd give my eye teeth to be there, enjoy!

GO SMARTY GO SMARTY GO SMARTY!!!!

(I have no useful advice to offer. I just love this horse. Although maybe I should make the trip up from Philadelphia. Are there non-infield seats available, do you know?)

Belmont Park does not typically do infield. I understand seats are usually gone by now but youmaywant to call them to confirm. You can always simplu buy an entrance and bring a beach chair to sit in the behind the stand section.

Go Smarty! Hi from Louisville, home of the Derby.http://www.nyra.com/Belmont/displayp...13&track=B

There's the info numbers for you. Couldn't find the info about cameras, but they do have a phone number there. have a blast and put 50 bucks on Smarty for ME!!!

Okay, I have to add GO SMARTY JONES!!!! As well. I'll be watching from home, hopefully with a group of friends, cheering on this great horse. I hope Smarty kicks butt again.

Thanks for your responses. I called and you CAN bring a camcorder. Also, you can get in gereral admission for $2, but I'm sure it will be a mob scene.

I went to Belmont stakes a few years ago, and YES, it was packed - like sardines. Worse than the track was how people were packed into the LIRR cars, especially coming back to NYC.
