Dear God, Red Pollard and Affirmed,
Thank you for letting Smarty Jones win The Preakness today. I am teary-eyed from watching this fantastic creature from Philadelphia run his heart out. My voice is hoarse from yelling with glee at this horse as he kicked it up in the stretch by opening the gap by eleven and aa half lengths...
If it's not too much to ask, could you please let him win The Belmont and make him an undefeated Triple Crown winner? Pleeeeease?! I haven't seen a Triple Crown winner since I was 7 years old in 1978... and had my huge crush on Stevie Cauthen.
This horse, this jockey, this trainer and, of course, this family are fantastic... the stories behind each of them are almost on par - if not almost surpass - Seabiscuit...
Yep. I am crying over a thoroughbred. Not the first time that's happened.... certainly won't be the last.... but, if you could send him over the finish line first in the Belmont, I would be so happy!
Thanks!
Love,
Erin
