The Belmont in Elmont

When most people think of New York they think "The Big Apple".



At the beginning of June this is what I think when I think of New York - the Belmont Stakes in Elmont. On the morrow the last leg of the Triple Crown will be run. With a Belmont Breeze in hand I shall be imploring the Thoroughbred gods to allow the second longest shot on the board to capture the place position and to bring the longest shot on the board to the winner's circle to wear the blanket of white carnations.
