"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.Quote:

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

The last three Triple-Crown jockies have just given the "Riders Up" command. It's time, boys.
Post time, everyone! Get your bets in now!
Such a tease every year...
Unofficial Results of the 146th Belmont Stakes
Win: Tonalist (11-1 Odds)
California Chrome finishes 4th.
Hard to win that 3rd one.
California Chrome's owner not pulling any punches here...
Well...as a consolation prize for not winning the Triple Crown, California Chrome now gets to have sex with a LOT of females.
He has a point but that's the way it is and always has I guess.Quote:

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.Quote:
