  8. Scrutiny on Doug O'Neill proves horse racing needs reform

    Belmont Park interrupts a string of seemingly endless stores, most of them tiny and old, a lot of them vacant. There are Taco Bells and Wendy’s, of course, but little sub shops and ethnic joints, too, run by people who care about the quality of their meatballs or lo mein. Even as the Hampstead Turnpike delivers you to the gates of the facility, it is impossible to fathom the enormity of the place. There’s literally a park guarding the grandstand, a place with trees and fountains where maybe you’d rather sip your beer if, say, the next race doesn’t interest you, or maybe the horse you bet scratched at the last minute. But once inside, once you’ve taken in the broad infield with its two bodies of water, it becomes clear that, yes, it makes sense that this place could, when the circumstances are right, be the center of the sporting world.
