Tack Warehouse in Woodland, CA is having a Belmont Party for hometown hero California Chrome! Photo from Tack Warehouse's Facebook Page
A wonderful weekend to you, EN! I’m currently in non-stop party mode, and I hope that you’ll join me. Yesterday was my 34th birthday, which I spent doing my three favorite things: sleeping, eating and acting foolish at the barn with my BFF. It was a pretty awesome day, but today might be even greater. Today we will find out if California Chrome can reign supreme in the Belmont and be the first Triple Crown winner in over 30 years. My local tack shop is hosting a party and I’m JUST A BIT EXCITED.
If the possibility of a Triple Crown champion wasn’t exciting enough, there’s Bromont. All eventer eyes are on Quebec as many of our sports greatest take on the the challenge. Will we see another streaker? Possibly! I’m thrilled to see the crew from the West Coast (aka the Best Coast) doing so well. I’m also seriously jealous that they have access to one of the most glorious hangover foods of all time, poutine.
