NEW YORK- Horse racing's final Triple Crown event, The Belmont Stakes, is taking place this Saturday and one of the favorites - for second place - is a horse named "First Dude."
Yes, that's First Dude, as in the nickname of the former First Gentleman of Alaska Todd Palin, husband of Tea Party darling and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
A big, long-striding horse, the Preakness runner-up is owned by Don Dizney

Yer welcome SCP!
I’m listening to that KY Democrat Senate hopeful, Connaway (sp?), being interviewed by the horse-babe on ABC. He sounds VERY gay - gay as in homosexual, not happy. What’s this guys story?
Just saw it too and I’m not sure
hot and damn! sugah, you be fine!
/southern-accent
that's someone's grandmother?!
Did you see a bit ago Todd having his pic taken by First Dude the horse?
I have a win bet on #4 Make music for me.
Exacta box with #4 and #12
A bunch of half dollar superfectas featuring the three
faves mixed in with the longies.
Kind of suprised FIRST DUDE is as long as 6-1.
He will DEFINITELY gun to the lead, try to control a comfy pace and bring it home, whether the mass of bettors
believes in him or not.
However , I can see #4 or #12 winning,
and DON’t forget the overlooked STATELY VICtor.
3 MINUTES TO POST! good luck ALL.
the girl singin sucks
I guess the Peeper has Wasilla all too himself today...lol.
You betcha! Why oh why did they replace “New York, New York” with this drivel?
The sing was bad...agree
That singer and the song were horrible! I much prefer The Sidewalks of New York. New York, New York was a poor substitue, but where in the world did they dig this song up? Bury it! It is not a classic.
Be still my heart!
They said Dude has only 1 win in 7 starts but 4 second places
Does anyone have news of the quarter crack on First Dude?
Heard he suffured on April 10
yeah she really was terrible.
This was an experiment for the diversity crowd, this song
was written by Jay-Z, and I’m glad they cut it off to go to a commercial!
They are loading the horses.... race is about on.
Ah, just watching. Go First Dude!
Watch the backstretch
It was so dreadful that it was reported that the horses reacted badly to it.
