The Belmont.. history in the making?

This Saturday the Belmont Stakes will be run. War Emblem is the first horse in many years to have a chance at the triple crown...

Just wanted to keep y'all up on some current events here......

Thru the eyes of youth

Ah..Belmont. As the mud hit as they were rounding the last turn heading into the stretch. I was about 7 years old , being baby-sitted by the big brother. That was tthe first of many afternoons spent either at Belmont or Jamaica race track. Hadn't been there since '88 when Risen Star won the event. But the race is secondary. It's a festivel on the Stakes day. Bring your own picnic, drink of chioce and party in the paddock . It's something I really miss and feel I'll probably never see again. Shouild be a Good Un, saturday!!

Gotta love the names of the horses.

Uh, how about Fusaichi Pegasus two years ago? He was supposed to be the most dominating horse since Secretariat.

War Emblem doesn't have the stamina for the Belmont and will finish fourth.

I'd bet you a New York pizza for a fried catfish dinner if I could figure out how to ship it! We used to bet dollars for donuts. That was before Dunkin Donuts started charging 71 cents for one donut.

Media Dollars for Donuts

LMOL. There always "frozen pizza and freezed dried catfish". I really don't have a clue who's going to win the race, but the reports strongly seem to favor War Emblem. We'll se Saturday.

I still say he'll fade. But I'll be rooting for him anyway. I remember when Affirmed won (yes, I'm THAT old) and everyone started thinking, hey, that's two triple crown winners in a row, must be pretty easy. 25 years later....

Freeze dried catfish doesn't sound very good.
