So the final race of the triple crown was on Saturday. Most people were routing for California Chrome who won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes. If he won the Belmont Stakes he would have won the triple crown! The race was pretty good. And before hand all the other jockeys were getting interviewed about is they thought there horse would beat California Chrome. Of course, the all said there horses would. In the end California Chrome had a pretty bad race and got 4th. It was a pretty bad race for him and his jokey and owner. They all seamed pretty sad in the end. But the record of Secretariat still stands. Secretariat and Man 'O' War are both considered the greatest race horses of all time. It would be pretty cool to see them race against each other. Secretariat won the Belmont Stakes 31 lengths ahead of the nearest horse and got the world record for 1 1/2 miles of horse running ( 2 minutes 24 seconds) In fact his owner actually came to the most recent Belmont Stakes. Boy, I would give ANYTHING to meet her and Secretariat. If I did that would be awesome!
