Belmont Stakes-  A Horses' Arse Tale

 With all the talk about the possiblity of the first Triple Crown in 30 years by Big Brown if he wins this Saturday's Belmont Stakes race, it seems a lot of the other horses have been left out of the spotlight. Lets take a lil looksey at a few of them and see why.

First We have Rocket McZee starting in the #2 post. This Horse is sponsored by Stankees Porta-Lounge, a small personal relief company in the New Dork area. He comes in at  7-2 odds. He would likely be the favorite over Big Brown if not for his owner Hank Stinkbreaker's questional training techiques and the competition committee's concerns over performance enhancers. McZee almost didn't make it to the Belmont after a roadside bomber in Bostone tried to take out his trailer.

  His scheduled jockey is Douglas J. Needles from the Back To The Future Trilogy. Needles and McZee have been together their entire careers.

    Next, starting from psot 3 is Burro Cinco. This fiery horse is sponsored by Big Mouth Bubble Gum and is currently seeking a new stable to reside in. He is not happy with the hay and oats supply his current owner provides.

  Rumour has it that Burro Cinco's  new jockey, Gary "Pimp Daddy" Coleman is interested in buying this horse and using it for his security detail job at Cincinatti Correctional Facilty, but nothing has been confirmed yet..

  Starting from the #4 post we have Terell Oatsins.He will sport the 81 and be sponsored by Romobaucher Extra Butter Popcorn.  His trainer says he prefers to be called Oatsey, because of his similarities to last year's Derby winner Rundy Grass.

   Jockeying Oatsey will be Quack-man Bones. Bones  was previously abolished from all Horse Racing activities after an incedent with another trainer at the 2006 Hentucky Derby. The identity of this man was not realeased but we have an exclusive photo proving it was ex Superjockey Barles Chalkley.

    Originally from  the #5 post, we had a surprising new horse named Wyle-D-Squish  sheduled to make his first Belmont start.

   However, during training earlier this week  the Squish got upset for some strange reason after dominating all other horses in practices and had an accident with another SuperHorse's transportation. It still isn't known who was at fault for the accident, but Squish will not recover in time for this year's Belmont.

    Replacing Wyle-D-Squish in the 5 post will be a horse making his first major staks race. Rambo Splice. This horse is relativley unknown. He was voted in by thousands of horse racing fans  from YouBube, which decided to become his sponsor after all the attention this upstart horse brought the popular website.

   His jockey in the Belmont will be Hay Bakin.  Bakin was also an unknown before he got his chance with the Simon Cowell Equestrian Center. Many believe this horse and rider combo will be one and done in this sport.

    Earlier today, the popular Foxblog and NASCAR racing team from GGW was spotted attempting to get to the track to set up  their Gorillas Gone Wild vendor tent. The Superstar race team seems to show up at all major sporting events since GGW co-founder Photogr earned the democratic nomination for the presidential race over his heavily favored opponent Billary Squinton. Also tagging along with the entourage was famous NASCAR driver Tony Screwert of Baby Bibbs Racing,  rumoured to be a transgendered racer in disguise with  GGW under the alias name of Frank. Trust me , i know this rumor is not true. I cant get Tony to where heels for anything.

    However,the two Clydesdales, Shasqueel the Hill and Cloneby Giant, were not able to pull together on the same wagon and the GGW team was stranded without a horse to pull them to a horse race. Go figure!

   After an inside look at the rest of the field for what looks to be a very exciting Belmont Stakes, i'm certain there are plenty of horses or horse's A-s-s-es  that have a strong chance to win the Belmont this weekend besides the Media doll Big Brown. With this field of violent horse power, it could be one of the best high-stakes horse races ever run. If anything, the post race race interviews should be well worth the wait.

     First off,

     Thanks to vbchic_Redskins_fan  for posting her piece Titled "When Did Loyalty Become Passe?"

   Great Read if you get the time. It made me think of Sports fans and how easily they jump ship when their team goes into a funk, but more importnatly it reminded me of why i love sports.

     A true diehard sports fan sticks with their team through good years and bad years, troubles and triumphs.  Some are born into  sports families . Others are gifted athletes that almost made it to the big leagues and continue to follow their favorite sport. Some are just along for the comradery and fun.

 Sports fans come in all shapes and sizes, all ages, and all ethnicities. Its one of the few things about American culture that we all have something in common.  The love of the game.

      I'm a diehard Dallas Cowboys fan of about 20 years, Notre Dame fan, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Fan. (yeah I know, strange combination.)

My first encounter i remember in the sports world that really stuck with me was when i met Bobby Allison and Richard Petty as little boy. Both were some of the kindest, most generous people I've ever met and I was hooked on NASCAR since that day.   

     The men of my family were always " Good Ole Boys" and i see a lot of that in Dale Jr. Maybe thats the connection,along with being about the same age but can't say for sure on that one.

     The man that made me care about football was a guy named Joseph Clifford Montana, Jr. who played QB for Notre Dame, and later when on to become arguably the greatest QB professional football has ever seen.

        When i was old enough to know enough about football to understand it, I idolized "Joe Cool" and have followed Notre Dame ever since, even through the many dark recent years. LOL (although as a Cowboys Fan, I'm not allowed to say anything good about the 49ers. We sign a contract.)

       I played football through high school although we never had a great team, but my coach is still someone i look up to 20 years later and taught me a lot growing from a boy to a man. Most young men learn almost as much from their coaches during adolesecense as they do from their fathers.  At least it seems that way in the small towns on the plains of Texas. Football is a passion and a part of every town here.

       As for the Cowboys, My family, all being from Texas used to have a big tradition of Watching the Cowboys/Oilers Thanksgiving games. Later when i moved Dallas and began working at a Country Club and serving a man named Pat Sumerall and his pal Troy Aikman every Friday night in our restaurant, i became a part of the Cowboys family. I was priviledged to meet many great Cowboys players form the 90's Superbowl teams, along with past greats, and almost all the 70s Steelers players during a few banquets we held for them.  NFL was part of my life and It always will be.

        Whats your story?

         How did you become a fan of your favorite team? Were you born into a sport family. Parents that had you dressed like it  was Halloween on gameday?  Family tradition?

         Maybe its the Lights and the Sounds at the Ballpark that you enjoy or the smell or burning rubber at the track and the roar of the engines. The swoosh as the ball goes through the net?

Maybe you met someone that inspired your sports passion.

Was it the team colors or the personality of the players that drew you in?      

        Or do u just enjoy the team concept and friendships that you've gained through the years  through sports in highschool, college, or beyond?

Are you an extreme fan?

Do you have all the gear, the posters, the face paint?  Is your car an advertisement for your sports passion?

     Do you obsess about your team to the point it controls your life or dress your own kids or pets  to match your favorite team?

       The term "fan" is short for "Fanatic"  and some people  obviously take sports more serious and incorporate it into their lives more than others. But Hey, It's all good. As long as you stick around for the long haul.

Why do YOU love your team and how far do you go to express it?

  Please feel free to share your story or explain how you became a fan.  Even Hockey fans are allowed, if they could read of course.
