[Offshore Dawg]

"WRONG" in a way. He will run for the second leg today.

No.....he won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes....the Belmont is the third and final leg of the Triple Crown.

[Offshore Dawg]

Wrong again Ref, the Preakness is the next race.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheRef]

Wrong again Ref, the Preakness is the next race.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please tell me you're kidding me...

[Offshore Dawg]

No Dude, It is the Derby, Belmont Stakes, then the Preakness.

[TheRef]

No Dude, It is the Derby, Belmont Stakes, then the Preakness.

You're wrong... Derby, Preakness, Belmont is the order.

[jalakin]

Actually Ref is correct. Belmont stakes is the last leg. Chrome has already won the derby and the Preakness.

[Offshore Dawg]

Then I stand corrected, " MY BAD " sorry about that Ref

[CadaverDawg]

Hahahaha

[Offshore Dawg]

You gotta admit, if you had watched this thread unfold from a distance you would have chuckled, no?

[Offshore Dawg]

Got fed wrong info and failed to investigate first. Cadaver, anything happen to coach 34, seems like he left you minding the store.

[Coach34]

No, I'm here watching the last leg of the Triple Crown myself...cooking some ribs and drinking a beer

[Quaoarsking]

So ... any predictions? I think we finally see a Triple Crown today.

It'll be tough. Chrome has always had the second place horse gaining on him at the wire. With the Belmont being 1/2 mile longer than both the Derby and the Preakness, I think it'll be tougher for Chrome to win the Triple Crown. If it happens, the the 36-year drought is over. If not, then we'll hope it happens in year 37.

Horses are walking to the Paddock now with the jockies....So here we go.

Bob Costas finally got to interview somebody shorter than himself.

I'm waiting for his political rant at the end....

I'm picking Wicked Strong but hope I'm wrong. Would like to see Chrome do it.

[Coach34]

It takes a special horse to win all 3...I'd love to see it myself

[TheRef]

The last three Triple-Crown jockies have just given the "Riders Up" command. It's time, boys.

[TheRef]

Post time, everyone! Get your bets in now!

[Quaoarsking]

Such a tease every year...

Unofficial Results of the 146th Belmont Stakes

California Chrome finishes 4th.

[Pioneer Dawg]

Hard to win that 3rd one.

[Quaoarsking]

California Chrome's owner not pulling any punches here...

[TheRef]

Well...as a consolation prize for not winning the Triple Crown, California Chrome now gets to have sex with a LOT of females.

[State82]

He has a point but that's the way it is and always has I guess.

[smootness]

Yeah, no thanks on only the Derby horses being allowed to run the Preakness and Belmont. The TC should be incredibly difficult. I don't want to see one every 2-3 years.

[Quaoarsking]

Someone (538 probably) should do an analysis of how big of a difference it would make if only KD horses were allowed to race in the other 2.

Uh, I think he would have gotten that prize either way.
