Cool. It's historic. Now another streak begins.

It's been so long, I'd pretty much given up on there being another Triple Crown winner, so I wasn't watching. Congrats to all involved.

Led from the start...exceeded the distance limitations suggested by his pedigree..family owned and bred...excellent!

Quite a bit of eye candy with the owner, who was interviewed prior to the race.

Interestingly, they're an Orthodox Jewish family. To keep Shabbos, they were at a hotel within walking distance of Churchill Downs and brought

in Kosher food. For the Preakness and Belmont they stayed in a luxurious 45 ft trailer so as to be able to walk to the track and keep Shabbos.
