I didn't have a dime bet on her. My wagers were with Curlin and Hard Spun.
I was in the stands of Belmont Park on the 2nd level grandstand between the 1/16 pole and Finish Line. As they turned for home I had goose bumps. I've never felt that during a horse race. At that point my bets became secondary and I knew I was watching something that might be very special. Sure enough Rags won. I lost out on the pick four I would have hit but it was worth being there in person to witness her historic victory.
