I'll be watching the race with family and friends while celebrating a milestone birthday for my Mom. Fired up? You might say that.

This is awesome! Definitely one you can mark off your "Bucket List"

"Fired up" and then some....cause he is going to do it. I feel it in my bones even more than when Smarty Jones tried. If that's possible.

Just so you know, I won't be at Belmont -- I'll be in Kentucky. Re-reading my post I could see where you might think I was going to be up in Elmont. But yes, it IS going to be awesome. Now it's time for At The Races!

Oh, well I am sure you will still have a great time.. Maybe not as good as if you were actually AT Belmont, but none-the-less I am sure you will have a blast.

I'm going to watch at Santa Anita, it's the next best thing since I can't be in New York, so psyched to see a Cal Bred win the Triple Crown!! And the Kings aren't too shabby either! West Coast rules!!!

I'm going to be squished in with the fellow unwashed masses at Belmont, with a group of friends including one I've known since middle school. Lucky for me, she's tall, so she'll be able to tell me what's happening.

I'm actually not quite as sick to my stomach with anxiety as I was in the 3 weeks leading up to Smarty's Belmont, so that's good. Or bad. I'm not sure.

But it's really nice to have another contender I can root for wholeheartedly.

I'm really looking forward to it!! I'll be heading to Churchill Downs where I'll be watching the Belmont on that shiny new Jumbotron. Should be a great weekend of racing and hopefully includes a new TC winner!!

after my 2004 Belmont Stakes,I cant take anymore of that........it was worse than cal jam II back in 78.

I'm really excited too. Just turned 58 so I'm thinking, will I ever see another TC before I keel over dead?

I hope CC does it. By a good number of lenghths too. That way me keeling over dead won't be caused by CC in a head to head dual in the stretch.
