(Ruler on Ice, the winner of the 143rd Belmont Stakes)
It was a rainy, cold day and the track was sloppy and real muddy. I was freezing and shivering waiting for the races to go off today after we wiped our seats dry, and bet on races 7 through 10.
But the mud and slop didn't stop Ruler on Ice to get out there and work it, and plow through and win!
I always support the UNDERDOG! 'cause the Underdog can win!! Ruler on Ice was a 24-1 longshot, but his win proves to us all that the underdog can make it happen!

I am happy that a horse with big odds plowed through. I read that the horse was good at long distances, and he sure was!
