Horse racing makes me think of history and all of the people that lived before my time - and how different America truly used to be in decades past. Because, when is the last time you heard someone say, 'I am going to see a horse-race.'
The horses only matter a few times a year and the Belmont only becomes important if a horse has won the first two legs - The Kentucky Derby and The Preakness. California Chrome accomplished the first two - can this horse win the #BelmontStakes?
