I agree with Suffolk. As intriguing and highly anticipated as the race would be for us, it would generate minimal interest in the general media.

That being said, I was surprised to see a front-page column in the sports section of the Sunday Palm Beach Post encouraging the connections of Street Sense to run in the Belmont, because how great it would be to see the top 3 of the Derby and Preakness back again.

If the Big Three and Rags To Riches Runs.........88,000 Fans

If the "Big Three" Run............75,000 Fans

Two of the Big three and RTR Runs.........60,000

Just Two of the Big Three........*50,002


*Had to include the 2 extra because two years ago when there was not a chance for a triple crown I predicited that if there was more than 50,000 fans I would run down the street naked. Attn. 50,014 My friends gave me
a waiver because nobody really wanted to see that.
