Woo Belmont! I trekked out to watch the Belmont Stakes, and it was such a blast! 100,000 plus people all rooting for horses...um, that was fun, but the best part was the giant tail gate party that took place on the lawn in front of the track. So fun! It was too bad Smarty Jones lost, but it didn't ruin my day. I lost $2 on him, though. Boo.
