Thanks! I am ready for another Triple Crown winner. Still haven’t decided how to bet today yet.

Yes, it would be great. I worked at Belmont as a teen during the mid seventies when there were THREE Triple Crown winners! Secretariat (1973), Seattle Slew (1977), and Affirmed (1978). Unfortunately, I was there from '74 to '76, so I missed all 3 of them while there. I did, however, get to meet/see up close a bunch of superstar horses, jockeys and trainers, and other big names in racing. I even got to meet the groom of Secretariat, a black guy from the south nicknamed "Shorty", aka Eddie Sweat.
