i live in nyc and the belmont is always exciting though i've never been to any horse racing track...a triple crown possibility is even more exciting.

a coworker has signed up to work there for extra money as her daughter is entering high school in the fall. so in our chats i've learned a little of what goes on behind the scenes thru her. funny though she wasnt aware of the triple crown possibility, but hey she's a stressed out working mom. she has had to be screened and licensed though the state and tested and trained of course. class was intense and the rules very strict!

i hope big brown wins! i felt so sad for the filly that had to be euthanised a few weeks ago but rehab for a horse is awful from what i remember from a couple of years ago.

**Lovely to see you again my friends**
