Great story and what a Belmont to watch!!
Isn't it amazing the lengths to which we will go to watch racing? I spend most weekends in VT and do not have a robust cable package so unless the races are on a network station I have to scrounge around and find a place to watch. I've shown up at bars just as they are opening and begged to watch their TV to see the races. There aren't many fans around so some guy is always trying to change the channel to watch some sissy show - I hold my own and get to watch the races. Of course it helps that my friends are hearty drinkers and good tippers!
Seriously considering upping the cable package.....
