The 2009 Belmont Stakes
POST # 2971
This year's Belmont Stakes wasn't nearly as crowded as years past. I guess the lack of a Triple Crown possibility will do that. But the weather was perfect and the favorite didn't win the 141st running of the stakes. Summer Bird (pictured before the race in picture #2) won pretty easily after it passed Dunkirk and Mine That Bird.

Love the blue skies in the first shot. Did you use a circular polariser?
Also, I have never in my life thought about going to a horse race, but seeing your pictures, it looks like a ton of fun ;)
