You saw a great race. A historic race. I think the Belmont is our best race and I am partial to Belmont Park as my favorite racetrack. I've seen three great races live, all at Belmont:
1977 - Forego ran down Honest Pleasure in the mud in the Marlboro
1978 - Seattle Slew beat Affirmed in the Marlboro (first time two TC winners met)
1999 - Victory Gallop ran down Real Quiet in the Belmont.
What a race you saw!
