Alert Member Catches Us-Belmont is June 7 !

Hopefully Big Brown, who is currently a 2 to 5 favorite will run better in The Belmont Stakes than we ran with the June Calendar.

Thanks to an alert member who posted a comment on this bulletin board, we now know we had the wrong date. Apologies to all the horse racing fans among us.

So here's what's up for The Belmont: Sat June 7, 2008

*The Lounge will open at 5:00 PM, this is also when TV coverage begins on ABC with the official drink, The Belmont Breeze. We will have Mint Juleps also on special.

*A dinner special will be available, just as any Saturday evening, or, you might consider joining us for lighter fare with the new bar menu.

*Post Time: Approximately 6:17 PM.

*All Triple Crown Winners

*Last Triple crown Winner: Affirmed, 1978, with Steve Cauthen aboard who battled Alydar, neck and neck, to win by a head at the wire.

Here is that race from 30 years ago this weekend, 2 minutes and 37 seconds.
