I don't think I'll ever witness a Belmont like Rags to Riches'.

hers was exciting, but it would be hard to top the affirmed/alydar edition. those two battled thru much of the race, an amazing effort by both horses. secretariats was a feat for sure-but seeing two horses go toe to toe like that was amazing.

Seeing as I was born in 1978, I wasn't at Belmont to see Affirmed and Alydar.

Smarty Jones Belmont was electric, it was an amazing day, and when Birdstone won, you could have heard a pin drop, the slence was amazing considering there was 100,00 plus fans there
