Let us not watch the Belmont Stakes,
The cruelty of these races is no mistake.
Churchill Downs in Louisville,
Twelve horses dead in thirty-one days that is foul.
The suffering of these horses should be our protest.
Let us not watch, for horses deserve the best.

I'm still very angry there's something called "The #BelmontStakes" and it has nothing to do with #Castlevania.

They had a national anthem after the 6th race and the singer was really good so I didn’t mind much —but New Yorkers are some of the silliest people on the planet even more people were standing for “New York, New York” which everyone seems to like even though the lyrics are rather grim and don’t exactly put the city in the most friendly light. But, no matter, I know all the words! #belmont #belmontstakes

BREAKING: Congratulations Jena Antonucci—the first female trainer to win the Belmont Stakes! Archangelo wins—and jockey Javier Castellano rode winning horses on two of the 2023 Triple Crown races. #BelmontStakes #Archangelo #Mastodon

Typical crappy #Fox announcing of the #BelmontStakes Couldn’t hear or understand a word of it.

It's Belmont Stakes day, which is as good a time as any to point out:

Win or lose, race #horses are just one of the many #hobbies that help the ultrawealthy create huge write-offs that can let them get away with paying little or no income #tax for as much as a decade at a time.

I’m a former champion equestrian. It pains me to see so many #horses dying on the racetrack

On this day in 1973, #Secretariat gave what would be the greatest performance in sports history, winning the #BelmontStakes by 31 1/2 lengths on the way to winning the Triple Crown.

worried about forcing horses to race in NYC's horrific air conditions? it's a TERRIBLE LOOK if they do. but it's possible the #BelmontStakes will be relocated to protect horse health
