Don’t Forget The Belmont – Today!
by admin on Jun.07, 2014, under Favorites
No real estate news today – I am once again being attacked by my own sinuses and feeling less than “informative.”
Just a quick reminder to anyone who is interested that the Belmont Stakes will be run this afternoon with California Chrome having a shot at winning the Triple Crown.
It will be televised – coverage beginning today at 4:30 pm (Eastern) on NBC – and via online stream here.
++ Post time is 6:32 pm Eastern.
California Chrome would be the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978. Pretty exciting stuff if you ask me. I’m off to find my usual “OTC” remedies for clogged sinuses. Have a great weekend…
Kentucky Derby – Tomorrow!
by admin on May.02, 2014, under Favorites
I do love horses and I love a good race so tomorrow will be a “happening” day for me. Although I am unfortunately not going to make it to Kentucky for the Derby in person, I will be ready at the TV at post time – 6:24 pm ET, Saturday May 3, 2014.
++ NBCSports.com will be offering a Live Stream of the race.
For a list of contenders and the current odds, etc., look here. One of my sisters and I get together each year to pick our favorites for each of the Triple Crown races. So far, no money has been involved, but it’s still fun to take some part in this prestigious event!
California Chrome – A lean, mean running machine! And he looks like he LOVES to run – always a good sign.
I haven’t made my final pick for the derby yet, but I am hearing a LOT of positive news about California Chrome. Foaled February 18, 2011, California Chrome is an American Thoroughbred racehorse bred in California, and is the winner of the 2014 Santa Anita Derby and the 2014 San Felipe Stakes. He’s a favorite for the Derby according to those in the know, but I just like the jaunty way he runs!
Feel like kicking back to watch the race with a traditional Mint Julep? Here’s the original “race” recipe.
