This is the last 13 minutes leading up to, and including the race. At the paddock for the horses walk-around, then a mad scramble thru the grandstand for a spot to try and see the race, and then the actual race. Our spot for the race was 10 ppl deep at the top of the middle level. My tripod was over 8 feet high for the actual race in order to clear the people, and i couldnt reach it- to move it as the horses ran, i was holding the pole and had to twist the entire thing as they ran. the back half of the race was very exciting. you can understand there is not much to see in the first minute of the race as they take off on the mile and a half track....California Chrome was vying to become the 1st horse to win the Triple Crown since Affirmed in 1978. He failed, as they all do. As my Dad would say every time the horse lost trying to win the Triple Crown, and as we were reminded again yesterday- "the Belmont is the graveyard of favorites". Was very exciting as usual....click 1080
