Belmont Stakes 2015

Cool side note, Hockey Night In Canada just showed a clip the crowd at the Tampa Bay Lightening stadium watching the race on a huge screen outside cheering AP on coming up the stretch, so I got to see a couple seconds of it until it’s available online. :lol:

What a horse!! :slight_smile:

My cat ran out of the room. :lol:

I peed myself!

My live feed cut out at the halfway. Who won???[/QUOTE]

Ow, you poor COTHer! That’s one to tell the grandkids. “I was watching to see if American Pharaoh would become the first Triple Crown winner in almost 4 decades and the TV cut out right in mid-race!”

That horse will be having 1,000s of babies. Lol

My faith is restored!!! So thrilled. I was almost ready to give up on ever hoping for a TC win if this did not happen.

And that poster suddenly got a whole lot more valuable!

I will admit I had my doubts & refused to get my hopes up… again…
But WOW… just WOW! He did that so effortlessly none of the other horses even had a chance to put up a challenge.

Excellent!

Great run.

I got my live feed working 30 seconds before they broke and it crashed just as the race ended! Very cool!

Haha to Steve “I’ll be dead before there’s a triple crown winner” Coburn…

Dumb question - was Burger King a sponsor? (That creepy king…)

I feel like no one knows quite what to do! LOL!

Absolutely wonderful! WONDERFUL!

Ummm…I seriously told SO to stop talking about diamonds and rings! He’s telling me he loves me, and I actually said “SWEETIE, NOT NOW. This horse just won the Triple Crown!!!” :lol: I think he’s trying to propose. Lmao!

I scared both of the dogs. One was next to me on the couch but the other was outside! :lol:

He was so relaxed… he had it in the bag… Awesome!!!

Isn’t Burger King part of Yum Brands! (don’t forget the exclamation point), that sponsors the Triple Crown races? And I absolutely find the BK king creepy.

The best part of the pre show was the video of his first workout in the the fog, and all of the clockers going “oh my god” and “holy shit” when he ran by. Reminded me of a movie scene, but totally unscripted.

Gotta love Espinosa “holy sh-t!!”
