august belmont jr. and william collins whitney, along with other investors, built the original belmont race track which opened on may 4, 1905. in its first 15 or so years, belmont park featured racing clockwise, in the "english fashion"—allowing the upper-class members of the racing association and their guests to have the races finish in front of the clubhouse, just to the west of the grandstand. (a "field stand," at what was then the top of the stretch, was located east of the grandstand). the original finish line was located at the top of the present-day homestretch. in his 1925 book, "the big town", ring w. lardner refers to the then-recent directional change, when he has a character at belmont say (speaking of a recent race) "at that time, they run the wrong way of the track, like you would deal cards".
