Triple Crown chance Saturday at the Belmont! Be sure to tune in! Even if you don't really care about the sport you're going to want to watch for the chance to witness history if it's won so you can say you saw it!
People who know about these things are saying from what they've seen Justify is even more impressive than American Pharoah was, so there's a real chance this could happen!
I've been rooting for him since the start, being a Baffert horse. In an extremely muddy Derby he broke the Apollo Curse, becoming the first horse to win there without making a start as a two year old since 1882! That's 136 years! Then had a great Preakness in more mud and some thick fog. I'm very excited to see this conclusion, however it plays out!
I'll be in the Chatroom for the race Saturday, come by when you put it on!

IT HAPPENED THOUGH. The Triple Crown, he won, he really did it! Justify, you are amazing, you are fantastic! I wish I could have been online for the race (sorry bookworm) but I wasn't home :/

Yes! Justify did it!!
This is incredible! I wondered if I would ever see one Triple Crown won, never mind two, and I never could have hoped both would be by Bob Baffert horses!
Belmont chat:
We will not get to see if he could win the second ever Grand Slam though because he has been retired and so will not race in the Breeder's Cup on Saturday.
