Sunday,,,


The Hoban Family ,, via the 3 children picked up their 4th College Degree yesterday at Kimberly's graduation from SUNY Oneonta... !! Amazing from 2 parent who collectively have ZERO degrees and Barely several college credits to their names..... Now , she moves back today,, and we will see from there - huh ....


Big Brown won the Preakness ,,, now onto the Belmont.... ahhhh a not so easy mile and a HALF !! that has claimed many a horse's dream of the Triple.... We will get to see the greatest race of this or any other time,,, when Secretariat won by - how many lengths was that ,, and the great shot of Ron Turcotte turning around to see where the hell everyone else went..

On June 9, 1973, almost 100,000 people came to Belmont Park near NewYork City to see if "Big Red" would become the first horse in 25 years to win the Triple Crown. Secretariat gave the finest performance ofhis career in the Belmont Stakes, completing the 1.5-mile race in a record 2 minutes and 24 seconds, knocking nearly three seconds off the track record set by Gallant Man in 1957. He also won by a record 31lengths. Ron Turcotte, who jockeyed Secretariat in all but three of his races, claimed that at Belmont he lost control of Secretariat and that the horse sprinted into history on his own accord.
Met's defeated the Hapless Yankees,,, god they suck !!
