No contract problems for Belmont betting

Avid racing fans probably know this but for those who want to see and bet on Big Brown in Saturday's Belmont Stakes, there will be no hinderances.

The dispute between Calder and horsemen, which denied Calder the Kentucky Derby and placed Preakness betting in doubt until the 11th hour, will have no impact on the Belmont.

Calder has been taking bets on NY races without interruption and will do so on Saturday. In fact, those who want to bet on Saturday's Belmont Stakes will be able to do it starting Friday.

Standard admission and parking charges will be in effect ($3 grandstand, $5 clubhouse).

Gulfstream Park and Palm Beach Kennel Club also are able to offer full-card simulcasting from New York.

Jai Alai frontons and dog tracks, which offer thoroughbred betting after 6 p.m., also will be able to take bets on the Belmont starting Friday, since post time for the third jewel of the Triple Crown is about 6:15 Saturday.
