The Race
"There are a thousand ways to lose
and only one way to win" or so the
saying goes.
Looking & Seeing
Were you one of the thousands who
watched the 146th Belmont Stakes
today?
California Chrome had everyone
cheering for that infamous breathing strip,
as well as their own nine million plus bets.
No doubt the trivia about this day will
be included in future books about racing.
Were you counting the seconds, the minutes,
and the hours as you waited to finally view
this race?
Well . . . on this day in 1989 you might have counted
the seconds of the clock for a very different reason.
At one small point in time on that day, you wouldhave read: 1:23:45, 6-7-89.
For another view of a racetrack, you might go to
the movie, My Fair Lady and watch Audrey Hepburn
at the horse race. With her grace and civility and humor
she wins!
