9 June 1973. Super horse Secretariat, ridden by Ron Turcotte, won the Belmont Stakes to become the 9th horse to win the US flat racing Triple Crown (Kentucky Derby, Belmont Stakes and Preakness Stakes). The horse still holds the fastest time record in all 3 races.

@MetsLoyalist @JomboyMedia True, BUT, I don’t understand this extreme fan loyalty, when in a couple of years the players of the Knicks the Spurs, could change uniforms.

The @Nationals rally for a comeback win with 3 runs in the 9th inning!

On this date in 1973, Secretariat wins the Belmont Stakes by 31 lengths, a Triple Crown record, to become the first horse in 25 years to win the Triple Crown 🏇

Kickers are way too good now. I liked it better when a solid 70% of them looked they were struggling just to get through life.

Big congrats to Kentucky Derby champ Golden Tempo on his win at Belmont 🏆🌹

and 🍻 to his trainer who made his health a bigger priority than a triple crown 👑 👑👑 😘

#OTD in 1969, the @Yankees retired Mickey Mantle's No. 7.

Mantle joined Babe Ruth (No. 3), Lou Gehrig (No. 4) and Joe DiMaggio (No. 5) as the only players the team had honored with a retired jersey to that point.

First, the Kentucky Derby. Now the Belmont Stakes. Five weeks ago, @reredevaux became the first woman to win the Kentucky Derby.

Now, she, @jose93_ortiz, and Golden Tempo are @BelmontStakes winners. The reaction says it all.

[Vince Langman @LangmanVince]

Is Golden Tempo the greatest racehorse since Secretariat?

[Jim Koenigsberger @Jimfrombaseball]

"The 2015 All Star Game featured the four greatest living baseball players, Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench, Sandy Koufax, Willie Mays, who are all absolutely amazing players in their own right.
But I'm in the room, sitting next to my grandfather, Yogi Berra, and I'm thinking:
"Wait a second:
He's got more MVP's than any of these guys.
He's won more World Series rings that all four of them combined.
And I look at him and I said:
"Are you dead??"
And he said:
"Not yet."

Throw up a hand if you’re old enough to remember when approximately 38% of television commercials were one of these sweet bastards.
