Dear
Readers,
Hot off
the presses, California Chrome can wear his nose Band-aid.
Yippee-yi-yo-kayay.
Put a
check in the box marked “reasonable, fair and right.”
Now
that this ridiculous bump in the road is behind California Chrome, and all his
fanatical fans. We need to keep our fingers crossed for the remainder of the
three week wait until Belmont Stakes Day.
The
card Belmont Park has compiled is so strong; it is hard to call it an undercard
for the feature race. What a festival, I wish I could be there. The grandstand
should be heaving, and the excitement thunderous.
One
pretty chestnut, with lots of jewelry will walk onto the track carrying the
kind of weight that comes from the hearts of all the people around the world, who
love a good story.
My
vision for the race includes the rest of the field chasing a wide-eyed,
bucktoothed turquoise jackass down the lane in the Belmont Stakes.
Now, where are those Berkenstocks?
Take
care,
Shelley
