Belmont Stakes to be held without spectators as the first leg of the Triple Crown

The Belmont Stakes, one of horse-racing's biggest events, will take place without spectators in attendance on June 20 amid the coronavirus pandemic, the New York Racing Association said in a statement on Tuesday.

The decision to hold the annual event at all is a hopeful signal for Americans looking for a return to sports normalcy. While team sports with close human contact like the NBA, MLB and NHL have been indefinitely postponed, individual, open-air sports like tennis, golf, NASCAR and now horse-racing have returned or plan to do so in the coming weeks.

Great news. Obamagate

Waiting for Trump to say something stupid.....again...hahaha!

This is such a shame. The CCP should pay!

Disgusting.

Who cares... NO ONE, THAT’S WHO, LOSERS! Listen up- 2nite’s BURN is going to beautimous( real word). It will star one of your fellow-fibbers! Don’t miss out! Now you may go back to lying.

Ban Horse Racing.

CNN likes horse races because all the horses turn left in the race. Lol

What?

If there's a horse race and no one is there to see it but CNN, did it really happen ?

I know nothing about horses or horse racing but I fell in love with horses through reading books dedicating to horses and barns and horse shows. Some times in the past I went to a horse barn/playground for children and I instantly fell in love with ponies, especially white ponies

Don't care.

That’s messed up

Of course! Because the Plebs *MUST* have their Bread and Circuses, lest they revolt!

How they gonna keep the Jockey's 6 feet apart in the Gate

Total B.S. Open it up

That’s cool

Can't wait until horse racing is illegal. Poor horses.

Let's start with that

So not a real triple crown then.

Do the horses have to wear masks?

Boooooooooooooo
