I'm not an avid horseracing fan, but my wife and I do take interest in the Triple Crown, and this Saturday, it's the 146th "Belmont Stakes". To make it more exciting, this year there's a good chance we might see the first Triple Crown winner since "Affirmed" in 1978 if "California Chrome" finishes first!
One day after the world said, 'What?' when it learned that the chase for the first Triple Crown in 35 years could be halted by equine nasal strips, New York State racing officials took action on Monday to...clear the air, if you will.
Palace Malice, who finished twelfth in the Kentucky Derby, did not let thirteen-to-one odds stop him from running to victory in the 145th Belmont Stakes.
