Saratoga Summer Races

NEW YORK. June 22-The New
York State Racing Commission an
nounced today that the application
of the Saratoga Racing Association
to hold its summer meeting at Bel
mont Park on Long Island from
July 26 to August % had been
granted.
When officials of the FIVE New
York tracks and the racing commits
sion agreed last March to shift the
Spa meeting to the metropolitan
district, the site was left undecided.
The plan then was to hold it at
either Belmont or Aqueduct. de-
pending upon which track did the
better financially this spring.
Although Aqueduct, located close
to a railroad line. apparently has
been more successful so far, recent
ODT ruling will permit race trains
to be run directly to Belmont Park
on spur track. The Belmont plant
has a greater capacity than Aque-
duct and horsemen favor it because
they consider the sharp turns on
the Aqueduct track harmful to
horses
