A lively fan... he must have gotten lost on his way to 'Dega!

George and I made a last minute decision to attend the 2008 Belmont Stakes race on Long Island, in hopes to witness Triple Crown history. It turned out to be a fabulous decision, despite the fact that Big Brown didn't pull through for the win. One thing that did surprise us was the diverse crowd attending the big event. The attendees ranged from people I would expect to see in the infield at Talledega (see picture above) to people dressed in swanky, sequined cocktail dresses. I guess we had expected a crowd similar to The Masters... we were wrong to say the least!
We had a great time and look forward to attending more horse races in the years to come!
The overrated Big Brown, before the race.
The winner, Da'Tara
