Triple Crown hype starts now!
 
Will you be watching the Belmont Stakes to see if there's a Triple Crown winner? I've been watching the horse races since I was just a kid.

My Husband likes the races... he was not looking for this to "have another." But we will see if we get "another." I like my cookies with milk.

I will certainly watch ~ I'd like to see a Triple Crown Winner!

Watched it and was so glad "I,ll Have another" did it again. One more to go. I hope he can do it.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaa for that Canadian Horse! :)

I watched too. The way he poured on the coal after rounding the last corner, I think he just might take the triple crown. I hope he can do the 1 1/2 mile at Belmont. Will be watching.

I live in horse country and the horses bred here win, but I just like to see them in the fields romping and having fun. We have a boarding farm across the street and this spring, three mommas were out there romping with their colts. It was breathtaking. Such beauties!

I love horse racing, should have heard me screaming in front of my tv last evening at the end of that race. Cheering for "I'LL HAVE ANOTHER"! Go all the way!!

it would be wonderful to see another win the triple. just hope the couple o horses that sat this one out just so they could be rested dont get the better of him.

I live in Kentucky so you can bet the majority of this state will be watching!!! :)

Horses are so beautiful!

I'll be watching but I'm also going to try to keep track (no pun intended) of this horse. The trainer doesn't have that good of a reputation---he's been accused several times of giving his horses "milkshakes" to pep them up and make them run faster. It works but it also makes the horses break down sooner than they normally would have. I'd love to see another Triple Crown winner but not at the expense of the health of I'll Have Another.

I live in N Ky just a few miles from Steve Cauthen who won the triple crown in 1978 on Affirmed. I would hate to see him lose his status so I am rooting for Bodie miester.
