The Special’s first edition of the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival makes it to newsstands and paper racks – and web pages and mailboxes too – despite the usual first-day gremlins. We preview Thursday’s stakes-filled card, cover the New York Showcase Day and an oddball steeplechase stakes won by the Saratoga-loving Jimmy P.
Plus columns from Joe and Sean Clancy, Here and There, the weirdest racing paragraph you may ever read, entries and handicapping for Thursday and whatever else we could shoehorn into the thing.
