It's breezy, warm and comfortable here at Belmont as race day has arrived. Couldn't ask for much more (aside, of course, from having the Triple Crown on the line). It's a strange feeling, knowing that after today, the Triple Crown is over and we have six weeks to wait for Saratoga to start. Five weeks of watching from afar and waiting to see which top horses will make their way up Union Avenue to Saratoga in August.
Personally, this has been nothing short of a tremendous experience for me. Being a part of an internationally-covered event like the Triple Crown has taught me a great deal about how to do my job better and the effort so many of my colleagues give to do their so well. Additionally, I hope I have done enough in my rookie campaign to give everyone a taste of racing's three big races. Along with telling some great stories, I hope I have given people the information they were looking for to become better educated about these races, and racing in general.
Less than eight hours to post time and there's a great undercard to keep me entertained until the real work begins. Time to finally figure out who will win the Belmont.
Good racing luck.
