JIM CANGEMIE, Astoria, N.Y.Burgess Stable"The best tracks are Belmont, Hialeah and Saratoga. I like the wide, sweeping turns. Rails are easier to ride. The worst is Bowie. It's a narrow track with very sharp turns. On a wet day it's deep on the inside and faster on the outside, so all jockeys jam trying to run the outside."
