Fitting that American Pharoah was ridden to victory by a Mexican jockey...

There’s a difference between an event you saw coming and one that might not have happened. He reacted in the moment, he probably forgot there was a mike. And, truth be told, history would be a lot more entertaining of Armstrong had said “#$%^ yeah!”.

They would have to have housing within walking distance to the track. If they walked to the track and didn't use anything electrical, nor carried anything, they could attend a race and not violate Shabbos. It might not be in the exact spirit of Shabbos, but it would be technically correct.

I'll say. He and Sham were on a world record pace right through the back stretch and then Secretariat really began to run.

“I’m glad I can say that I watched him win all 3 races.”

Now that’s a memory to savor. I can only imagine how exciting that Belmont race would have been in person. Maybe only rivaled by the Miracle on Ice.
