Belmont



One of the best finishes ever. Ever. This girl can run. Strong closer. If you missed it, watch this. Last time a filly won the Belmont was 1905 I think, before that 1867. So its a rare event.

I never miss a triple crown race.I was rootin' for her from the git go.Glad she won.And it was a great finish.Speaking of triples and horse racing,your post brought back another memory that made me chuckle.I think it was in the late 90's.Greg Maddox,the pitcher, at that time for Atlanta,hit a ball to the outfield.He took off running from homeplate,lumbered around first,lumbered around second and headed for third.When he made it safely to third for a triple,the announcer said "Ladies and gentlemen,besides the Kentucky Derby,you have just witnessed the greatest 2 minutes in sports."(not verbatim)
