Triple Crown Winner?
There have been over 1 million foals born in America since the last Triple Crown winner, Affirmed in 1978, but today may be the 10th Triple Crown winner in history. Aleady nicknamed "Little Red" after the immortalized Secretariat "Big Red" whose statue stands in front of Belmont Park, Smarty Jones is still my pick for today. Slop, how about a monsoon? Distance, his Jockey holds him back until the 3rd turn anyway... This could mean the most paid out for a horse ever, over $10 million.
