On Tuesday, NBC Sports said it will broadcast all three legs of thoroughbred horse racing’s Triple Crown for the first time since 2005.

Horse betting fans around the world are quite excited about this news as they will get better coverage of all famous races.

Since 2005 it will be the first time that the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes will all be shown by the same network. In 2006, the Belmont Stakes moved to ABC.

With Churchill Downs Inc., NBC had already reached a new deal to keep in place its coverage of the Kentucky Derby, which will be run on May 7 this year and the financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Dick Ebersol, NBC Sports Group Chairman said the network will combine forces with cable TV’s Versus Network also owned by NBC parent Comcast to provide expanded horse racing coverage for thoroughbred fans.

The deals include coverage of the Black Eyed Susan Stakes and other Preakness day and Belmont day programming on Versus, which recently joined NBC family through its merger with Comcast.

In addition, expanded Derby week programming, including the Kentucky Oaks and Derby day programming, will air on Versus. In all, the NBC networks will air 25 hours of Triple Crown coverage. The Preakness will be run May 21, with the 1-1/2 Belmont Stakes on June 11. No horse has managed to win all three races since Affirmed in 1978.

Since then, 11 horses have won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness but failed to conquer the Belmont. The last attempt was in 2008, when Big Brown failed to finish the race.

The retirement of 2010, Kentucky Derby Winner Super Saver was announced by WinStar Farm.

There was a fear that Super Saver would not recover his racing form after such an injury, making retirement the preferable option, although the three-year-old colt had an injury to his cannon bones that he could have recovered.

While a stud fee has yet to be named for him, he will be put out to stud.

Super Saver managed to take home $1,889,766 in his racing career. Including the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby, he also won two races and finished second in two others. In addition, in the Odysseus’s Grade 3 Tampa Bay Derby, he had a third place finish.

In the wake of the departure of Bill Casner and Ken Troutt, Super Saver’s campaigners, from the WinStar partnership comes Super Saver’s retirement. For WinStar Farm, Super Saver represented a major breakthrough, giving them their first Kentucky Derby winner.

While the winner of the 2003 Kentucky Derby and Preakness, the farm had previously bred Funny Cide, their sale of him as a yearling prevented them from reaping any reward from it. Super Saver was one of four WinStar horses, the year he won the Derby by 2 ½ lengths. Cementing WinStar’s position was another WinStar horse, Drosselmeyer, won the Belmont Stakes.

A stable mate of Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver, Drosselmeyer, made a run of a lifetime to capture the Belmont Stakes Saturday in New York. before the race, Drosselmeyer was dismissed by all the horse racing experts and until the field hit the stretch run, the experts looked like they knew what they were talking about.

Jockey Mike Smith and Drosselmeyer hung back on the field and waited to pounce like a cat on the field late in the stretch run. of the gate, Drosselmeyer got a rough break out and the two dudes, First Dude and Game on Dude hooked up at the start of the race and ran away from the field initially.

If this race were the mile and sixteenth Kentucky Derby, both First Dude and Game on Dude may have won but with the race being the longest distance either of these horses has run, a mile and a half, there was no chance the two could keep up their torrid pace.

First Dude failed to hang on finishing third and both horses were spent in the last 200 yards, while Game on Dude fell out of the money finishing fourth. To grab the second place spot right at the wire, Fly Down also made an amazing drive.

Both horses were spent in the last 200 yards and First Dude failed to hang on finishing third, while Game on Dude fell out of the money finishing fourth. Fly Down also made an amazing drive to grab the second place spot right at the wire. Drosselmeyer paid $28 to win, $11.60 to place, and $7.70 to show. An impressive and unexpected upset. Fly Down paid $6.80 to place and $5.10 to show while First Dude paid $4.90 to show in a disappointing collapse.

On Saturday June 5th, 2010 at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York, the 214th Belmont Stakes will take place. The purse has a one million dollar guarantee. There will be no Triple crown winner and this year is the thirty second year in a row. The last horse to win the Triple Crown was Affirmed in 1978.

Horse racing betting favorite, First Dude will win the last leg of the Triple Crown, hopes trainer Dale Romans, with neither the Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver or Preakness winner Lookin At Lucky competing in the Belmont. In the Preakness, Fist Dude finished second and third in the Kentucky Derby. He is in the number 4 position.

Ice Box the Kentucky Derby runner up, is headlining the race. To be better prepared for The Belmont Stakes, he did not run in The Preakness. Ice Box is trained by Nick Zito and Jose Lezcano will be on his back.

Ice Box is in the number 1 position.

In The Lone star Derby, Game On Dude had an impressive win. Bob Baffert who also trained Lookin At Lucky to victory at The Preakness with jockey Martin Garcia on his back was the winning combination.

Stately Victor, Fly Down, Make Music for Me, Drosselmeyer, Stay Put and Spangled Star are some other horses slated to run in the Belmont.

As some of the horses and jockeys in the sport will not be taking part in the 3rd leg of the Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes look to be without much excitement. In the race, Kentucky Derby Winner Super Saver and jockey Calvin Borel will not participate. The winner of the Preakness, Lookin at Lucky, will also not be a participant as the Belmont Stakes take place on June 5th.

Bob Baffert trained Lookin at Lucky. In the world, Baffert is one of the most famous horse trainers. Baffert explained that the reasons for keeping the horse out of the race have to do with wanting the horse to have more longevity. He wants to make sure that, for a long time, the horse is able to race. By keeping the horse out of the race, it could potentially keep the horse going for a longer time.

For the simple fact that the Triple Crown isn’t at stake, Super Saver seems to be sitting out of the race. In the pursuit of the Triple Crown, after winning the Kentucky Derby it appeared that Super Saver intended on racing the next two races. After losing the Preakness Stakes, Todd Pletcher, the trainer, simply decided that they would not race in the 3rd leg of the Triple Crown.

To the Belmont Stakes, this will be detrimental. There will be much less buzz around the event, without the two winners of the first two legs of the Triple Crown.

Rightfully, many fans of the sport are upset about this. For top horses in the sport to skip out on one of the biggest races, they see no excuse.

The Horse Racing world is in absolute shock after recent reports regarding the New York Racing association. The New York Racing association is reportedly out of money and this has huge implications on the world of Horse Racing.

There are rumors that the upcoming race at Belmont on June 5th could be the last of its kind. The Belmont Stakes first began in 1867. This yearly race that takes part in Belmont Park in Elmont, New York has become one of the most famous races in horse racing. It is the third and final leg of the Triple Crown.

The Triple Crown is the most prestigious accomplishment in the world of Horse Racing. This accomplishment is achieved by a horse and jockey winning the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont stakes.

If the last leg of the Triple Crown ceases to exist, it may have a detrimental impact on all of the other races. The pursuit of the Triple Crown brings in the attention of people all around the United States. Television Channels take a pause to give a live update of the results of each of these three big races. With no possibility of winning the Triple Crown, the fans and media may shed less light on all of the other races that lead up to the Triple Crown. If this happens, Horse Racing could slowly start to die off.

All we can do is hope that things are figured out in the next year and that horse racing will continue on again in 2011 at the Belmont Stakes.

Horse racing has its legends. In horse racing, Triple Crown is one of the most prestigious feats to accomplish. In 1978, there never been a Triple Crown winner that one back to back. Affirmed went into the history books and provided a new record set.

Affirmed and competitor Alydar rivalry was the biggest part about this event. They met first during the Youthful Stakes, in 1977. Affirmed came out the winner. These 2 year olds slugged it out, in almost every other race thereafter.

In California, Affirmed won all four starts, earlier in 1978 and it set the stage for the three Triple Crown Races. In the final stretch both Affirmed and Alydar made a push but Affirmed came out on top.

The next race was just as breathtaking, with Affirmed coming into the race on top but slowly getting pressure from Alydar. The last race of the Triple Crown happened at the Belmont Stakes, three years later.

He two horses were already running about neck and neck with Affirmed in first place, after a half mile into the race. Affirmed secured his Triple Crown victory and the crowd cheered. Affirmed had just enough left in him to come out on top yet again, although Alydar took the initial lead down the stretch.

It was at the Travers Stakes in Saratoga where Alydar and Affirmed only raced each other one more time. For interfering with Alydar earlier in the race, Affirmed was later disqualified even though, Affirmed won this race. His following performances resulted in two more losses but he still won Horse of the Year for his incredible accomplishments. Every horse trainer is hoping that their mares will compare at some point just as Affirmed, who had an incredible run during his career
