Horse Racing

The most prestigeous honour in horse racing is become the Triple Crown winner, i.e. winning the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, & Belmont
Stakes, 3 races covering different distances over a period of 6 (?) weeks.

Last year (2014), there was almost a Triple Crown, the favourite failed in the third race. So, the void continues for 28 years.

This year, American Pharoah has become a hot favourite. It won the Kentucky Derby 2 weeks ago, not too impressive IMHO.

Yesterday, the horse won the Preakness in convincing style:

段段有，從未被超越，亦未受過威脅，Triple Crown 榮譽未跑已揸住一邊杯耳矣。

只證明佢短途好撚威。

最後嗰場係長途，而且休息兩三禮拜又再跑，仲有啲馬特登唔跑第二場，留力嚟甩熱門嘅鬚！

2015's Belmont Stakes will be run tomorrow (SAT) about 5:30 p.m., will also know whether there will be a Triple Crown in almost 1/4 of a century.

If you happen to be in front of a TV at that time, turn to ABC/NBC for live telecast.

THE 37 YEARS' WAIT IS OVER!

American Pharoah won the Belmont Stakes & became the first horse in 37 years to win 3 major horse racing events in 5 weeks!!

The horse will now be retired to a farm & perform stud duties. What a way to live!
