Top Tweets from Belmont’s Stars and Stripes Festival
Events / TravelSaturday's racecard at Belmont Park featured a nonstop lineup of superstar racehorses and world-class competition. The annual Stars and Stripes Racing Festival at Belmont included five graded stakes races, one of which was the Belmont Sprint Championship Stakes — a Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series “Win and You’re In” qualifying race for the TwinSpires Sprint.
While the action unfolded, thousands of fans took in the action on-track and many tweeted out their photos and observations. Here were some of our favorite tweets on the day.
