Author	Topic: In honor of the Belmont Stakes today
June Martin Forum Master Posts: 1326 Registered: Apr 93	posted 06-06-2009 03:30 PM [01-2737] We wait with anticipation to see if Calvin Borel will be a three for three winning jockey when he rides Mine that Bird again today at the Belmont Stakes. In honor of the glorious history of horse racing and the silver trophies that accompany it, we share this equestrian trophy advertised by International Silver back in 1902. IP: Logged

Interesting Triple Crown races this year, suspect the stud fees for Birdstone, sire of both the "Birds", will go up considerably - good to be winner, even better to throw them. Can never watch the Belmont without memories of watching my equine heartthrob Secretariat's amazing finish - what a horse! ~Cheryl IP: Logged
