2009 Belmont Stakes

[BB73]

Calvin Borel going for the first 'jockey only' triple crown.

I've slightly improved the morning line for each horse. Once again, it your horse gets scratched, those are the breaks.

no clue on this one. mine that bird finished strong at the preakness so the extra distance should help. i think i'm going to sit this one out and wait for the Travers later in the summer.

Wait - What horse won the last Triple Crown? And didn't that horse have the same Jockey?

Borel would be doing it on different horses... Mine that Bird won the Derby and Rachel Alexandra the Preakness both with him riding.

Oh, and Affirmed was that last triple crown winner in 1978, I assume the same jockey was aboard for all three races, though I don't know who it was off the top of my head.

Hopping on the favorite twice is not nearly as impressive as taking a third horse to victory would be.

I sure did. My girlfriend and I both pointed at the TV and said check out the hat at the same time.

Are you saying that when fourteenandoh says 'O-H', she says 'H-O'?

I've seen that somewhere.
