I was inside the 1/16th pole, 2nd floor grandstand. Couldn't hear myself yell, could feel the track shaking under me.
My heart wanted Smarty Jones, my pocket wanted Birdstone. Was a bittersweet moment but I loved screaming to the many make believe horse fans "GO HOME NOW" as soon as Tom Durkin said "Birdstone wins the Belmont Stakes".
