Summer Bird wins the Belmont Stakes

Summer Bird, ridden by Kent Desormeaux, won the 1.5 mile, Belmont Stakes. Summer Bird is a half brother to Mine That Bird. I was hoping Mine That Bird with Calvin Borel up would win, but they came in a close third, right behind Dunkirk. Oh well, that's horse racing. If you want to see a phenomenal Belmont Stakes race go to U-Tube and type in Secretariat and watch his Belmont run. What a race! That is one I will never forget. Gives me chills just to watch him run. I wonder if there will ever be another Secretariat. Don't think so. He set track records in each of his Triple Crown races.
What a power house Secretariat was. Truly one of a kind.
