"Hot weather on Belmont Stakes day is no surprise to us, and in general we're very ramped up on that front for a crowd of 90,000 or so," Lee said yesterday. "It's a major part of our planning, and we have additional EMTs and extra first-aid stations throughout the building."
Tomorrow's high temperatures at Belmont Park are more likely to affect the fans at the track than the horses running on it. John Lee, director of communications and media relations for the New York Racing Association, said the track is prepared.
Thoroughbreds dislike extreme heat but complain about it less than people do. NYRA will have extra hoses ready to cool them off.
