The Day in Pictures

Tweet Since the Lakeshore Limited didn't pull into the Buffalo-Depew station until 1.15am last night, I'm going to get a few pics up now and will post some afterthoughts on Da'Tara, Big Brown, Kent Desormeaux and the rest later. Here's some of the pictures we took on Belmont Day.

Shaq holding court in the paddock.

Joined some of the members of the TBA to say hello.

The windows weren't so bad......here buying some souvenir $2 win tickets for relatives, co-workers and friends that are now worth about 1/10th of a cent. I bet from my phone all day to avoid amateur hour at the windows.

The daunting stretch run of Belmont Park. Conquering that is the climax of "The Test of the Champion."

Gomez and Frankel being presented some bling for the Fly Emirates Just A Game victory by Ventura ($22). The Triple Crown trophy is the triangular one at the bottom!

Winning trainer Nick Zito in the paddock prior to the big race.

Bo Derek in Tale of Ekati's stall. Hey, I thought she was a 10 not a 7?

Big Brown's last circle in the paddock.



Thundering by us as they head to the clubhouse turn. Big Brown being boxed in by Da'Tara, Tale of Ekati and Anak Nakal. It only gets worse from here for the big fellah.



Hold the presses on that 12th billboard! More later....
