The bouquet wasn’t quite as imposing as the blanket of roses that had been presented the day before, its meaning  less grandiose. It was not a celebration of victory; it was, rather, a welcome home.]]></description><dc:creator>Belmont Stakes</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 09 May 2013 23:28:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>It's Still Belmont Day</title><link>http://www.belmontstakes.com/blog/teresa-genaro/2012/6/13/its-still-belmont-day/</link><description><![CDATA[I’m not one of those New Yorkers who thinks that our city is the center of universe and that there’s nowhere better than here.  There’s a lot to love about New York; there’s also a lot that’s maddening, if not exasperating, if not infuriating.

There are certain New York things that I love with an almost unreasoning affection. I love coffee from the carts on the street. I love the Empire State Building when it’s red and green at Christmas time.

The race was inaugurated at Jerome Park in what is now the Bronx, where it stayed until 1889, when it moved to Morris Park, also in the Bronx. Run there until Morris Park closed in 1904, the Belmont Stakes made its debut at its eponymous track on May 24, 1905.]]></description><dc:creator>Belmont Stakes</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 09 Jun 2012 04:55:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Alydar and Affirmed in the Belmont: “It was great for the sport.”</title><link>http://www.belmontstakes.com/blog/teresa-genaro/2012/6/1/alydar-and-affirmed-in-the-belmont-“it-was-great-for-the-sport.”/</link><description><![CDATA[When Bodemeister finished second to I’ll Have Another in both the Derby and Preakness this year, hopes rose that we’d have a contemporary revival of the rivalries that have made so many Belmont Stakes famous.

This is where it begins. Since 1875 racing fans have flocked to Churchill Downs to watch The Derby -- yes, it's in Kentucky, but we need no modifier. It's The Derby.

So back a few weeks ago, we looked at some trends in the Belmont over the last 20 years.  How did the 2011 renewal live up to those trends? Let’s take a look.
