Gotcha beat, 1967 my Zen horse's grandsire. LOL Yep lots of old blood in that boy.
Even though I still think they race horses too young, I still have a facination for horse racing. I'm hoping Curlin wins.

Rik, Man o' War heads the list of Belmont champion sires. Not only did he win the race himself in 1920, but three of his subsequent sires won it as well: American Flag in 1925, Crusader in 1926 and War Admiral in 1937, who went on to win the Triple Crown. KCW

A Belmont Tradition
The Belmont Breeze is the official drink of the Belmont Stakes. Created by New York? premiere beverage authority Dale DeGroff, the profile of the Belmont Breeze comes from the colonial recipe: one of sour, two of sweet, three of strong and four of weak.
The ingredients are:
1 1/2 ounces of a good American blended whiskey
3/4 ounces Harveys Bristol Cream Sherry
1/2 ounce of fresh lemon juice
1 ounce of simple syrup
(1 ounce of sweet and sour mix may be substituted for the lemon juice and simple syrup)
1 1/2 ounces fresh orange juice
1 1/2 ounces cranberry juice
1 ounce 7-Up
1 ounce Club Soda
Shake first six ingredients with ice, then top with 7-Up and club soda. Garnish with mint sprig and lemon wedge.

WhooHooo!!!
Kicking A and Taking Names! It made perfect sense that a filly won the Belmont the same night the TV movie about Ruffian was shown...made me cry. I was one of the millions who watched in horror as Ruffian broke down. I'll never forget it. I think she would be proud.
