I am not betting, but I am rooting for California Chrome to win the Belmont today!! A lot of folks at the track are betting him whether they think he's going to win or not. Everybody wants to see a Triple Crown Winner for the first time in decades!

I have it on now and am so anticipating this race!

No triple crown for 36 years. It's time for CA Chrome to change that.

wow.....did anyone hear the owner speak?

how bitter that man is!

he said that california chrome had a target on his back and called some of the other horses/owners cowards for not racing in the other two races..... unbelievable!

I agree with one of Chrome's owners, the whole thing stinks, and the winner did get there by being the "coward." Fresh horses should never be allowed in a race of this level.

I agree 100% with Chrome's owner.

Only the 20 horses that qualified at Kentucky Derby should be eligible for Belmont.

As he said, the other horses have been running their hearts out for 5 weeks and a fresh horse comes in and wins.

Doesn't seem fair to me {#emotions_dlg.angry}

But the Belmont is the most difficult track for a horse to win-- its a mile and a half and its longer than the Kentucky Derby or the Preakness tracks.

I was cheering for him. It's hard to win the Triple Crown. But, I'm always thankful when no horse was injured in these races.
