2024 Belmont Stakes Racing Festival In Photos: A Spa-tacular Saratoga Weekend

---

The 2024 Belmont stakes festival was pretty amazing. I don't know which race I enjoyed most, so here's my favorite 10 in no particular order:

Thorpedo Anna crushed the G1 Acorn, stamping herself has the absolute best 3yo filly and possibly the best 3yo period

The 3-way grey photo in the G2 Belmont Gold Cup, where The Grey Wizard got the win and a trip to the Gr1 Melbourne Cup if they choose to accept it.

Book'em Danno got a huge win in the G1 Woody Stephens with Nutella Fella closing like a freight train to get the show money off a 9month layoff.

Didia took the G1 New York, her first G1 win in the US after scoring 3 Gr1s in her native Argentina

Dornoch's gutsy G1 Belmont win – giving his dam Puca a second Triple Crown leg after his big brother Mage won last year's G1 Kentucky Derby

Cogburn setting the track on fire, setting a new North American record for 5 1/2 furlongs by winning the G1 Jaipur in 59.8s – the first horse to run 5 1/2 furlongs in under a minute.

Idiomatic and Randomized dueling under the wire in the G1 Ogden Phipps with Pretty Mischievous right behind them in third. Love to see the distaff division really heating up.

Baby Yoda putting on one of his spectacular performances to fly home to get his first graded stakes win in the G2 True North.

National Treasure putting on a show in the G1 Met Mile.

Venti Valentine getting back to the winners circle in the Critical Eye stakes on NY bred showcase Sunday.

Thought of this while at work, sorry it's a bit hard to read I sketched it out really fast before my last shift lmao wanted to get it done so I could work on other stuff hehe

If it's any consultation Floyd is mostly talking about himself

#my art #trolls #dreamworks trolls #brozone #trolls 3 #trolls floyd #trolls john dory #trolls branch #trolls poppy #the way i imagine their 20 years in troll village is that one meme where its the two different nothing in life matters pics #but one is super sad and the other is happy looking and radical #thats floyd and jd #but they switch places depending on the day #branch is a secret third option #also idk what id do with the 3rd movies plot #this scene in my head is 3rd movie era but i like havent decided what theyre doing yet #theres a few possibilities on whos in the bottle or if theres a bottle at all #this would take place in a timeline where clay or bruce is in the bottle #but like heres the thing any of the brothers could be bottled and itd make for a good story #i drift more towards clay only for the irony of finding out your brothers alive but its a race against time cuz hes literally dying #so it adds to the urgency but then its not much adventure cuz they just gotta get bruce and go #cuz we have 3/5 brozone here already #same goes for if its bruce #so like for story purposes that means it would be most likely JD or Floyd which is just most aus and canon #cuz after world tour Floyd would travel with JD on their own tour Floyd going solo with JD as his manager #and in this scenario they came back to tell Branch about finding whoever is in the bottle #but the story of these guys could also work without any bottle so idk we'll just have to see what i decide to do later #also im slowly coming up with a name for this #very slowly but it'll happen #i actually have a google doc that has a name so i may just use that

Ya'll want to know the funniest shit?

I'm researching the era when Alastor was alive right now to get a better idea of both his character, the life he lived before Hell, and to hash out a backstory for him.

And so, apparently, Alastor lived through the Prohibition (which was basically the United States government illegalizing the manufacture, transportation, and sale of alcohol because they thought it was the cause of a lot of domestic violence and child abandonment).

Alastor canonically died in 1933.

Do you know how long the Prohibition lasted?

From 1920-1933.

ALASTOR LITERALLY DIED THE SAME YEAR ALCOHOL BECAME LEGAL AGAIN. CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW BITTER HE MUST'VE BEEN?

The Prohibition officially ended on December 5, 1933, and now my headcanon is that Alastor died December 6, 1933. Literally the day after he could legally drink all the booze he wanted.

I am learning a LOT about New Orleans and the era Alastor lived through (including the gay community in the city at the time) which has been a lot of fun, and I just wanted to share that tidbit because it is so fucking funny to me.

#guys i just #its so funny #can you imagine Alastor gets the news #everything is awesome #the next day he's planning to go out drinking and have a good time #but first he needs to get rid of this body #it shouldn't take too long #just a few hours #and THEN this motherfucking hunter decides to ignore hunting laws and mistakes him for a deer #when he wakes up he's in Hell #I can just imagine the realization setting in #he's SO bitter and angry about it #he was about to get shit-faced and have a fun time at a party #and now he's suffering eternal punishment #he couldn't even get a proper drink first #it was just a fun tidit #ALSO #the gay community in New Orleans at the time is so fascinating #they literally entire communities and neighborhoods #and a lot of it was from mixed race people #and we know Alastor is mixed race #AH I have so so many thoughts #hazbin hotel #alastor #hazbin alastor #hazbin hotel alastor #the radio demon #hazbin hotel fanart #alastor hazbin hotel #alastor the radio demon

Lolol sometimes it’s so funny reading peoples posts about “Mormon” theology that is based on Exmo stories, tradition/culture but not doctrine, and like random statements by some church leader 200 years ago that was not put into doctrine/canonized, or that he was corrected/reprimanded on, and all of us look back on like “well that guy was racist/sexist. Anyways moving on…” like tbh it just makes me laugh. Like I know our theology is a bit different than mainstream Christianity but y’all don’t need to make it sound like we are out here truly believing half the stuff you say about us.

#I need you guys to understand from the bottom of my heart #that all races are equal before God #no one is sent to earth inferior #white people are not the default setting #I also need you to understand that a church leader can make a statement #that is personal opinion #even in a public setting like general conference #and if it is not backed by doctrine/scripture then that is just that guys opinion #quit lending so much credence to brother such and such from 189-whatever #and read the Bible and Book of Mormon #christianity #the church of jesus christ of latter day saints #anyways rant over #tumblrstake #this goes for people in the church too btw #stop basing your view of people off of Bruce mckonkie #rip Bruce I’m sure you said some good things but all we remember is the bad stuff #sorry bro

a line to commemorate bluebird, spread your wings (here’s a piece of the broken dream) reaching 500 kudos and turning pages (the narrow road to the deep north) ending on sept. 30.

#if you saw me say in the notes turning pages updates would be slow...#not anymore. i wrote the final line an hour ago.#it still needs good amount of editing but the goal is to end the story on the day jjk ends.#so i spent the few hours i get in between random intervals of the day writing like i was racing a deadline.#thank you for motivation akutami gegeㅋㅎ #stsg #geto suguru #gojo satoru #suguru geto #satoru gojo #suguru x satoru #satoru x suguru #sugusato #satosugu #how many variations do they haveㅠㅠ #jjk fanfic

summer olympics 2028 in a universe with no exy we have:

star gymnast neil josten

heavyweight champion andrew minyard

tennis pro kevin day

rugby goddess allison reynolds

d pole laxer matt boyd

marathon swimmer renee walker

volleyball libero aaron minyard

hockey forward dan wilds

synchronized diver nicky hemmick

#yes the easy route is to make neil do track but also he never talked about track in canon? he always chose exy #running is his coping mechanism not his passion i will stand by this until i die #like when neil runs there is no thought in his head or race-plan or anything he goes on runs when he needs to stop thinking and run away #andrew is a heavyweight boxer becuase i keep seeing art and it's a lovely idea #kevin needs a strategy heavy sport ok #allison does rugby because its something just as violent as exy and something her parents would hate just as much #i was going to have matt do boxing but yk what that guy deserves a team sport - also with a d pole he gets to do crazy checks #he is a fighter but he is also matt #renee just has the swimmer vibe to me like swimming is so quietly difficult and i would like buff renee pls #aaron i feel is secrelty good at being a team player when that team is not the foxes - also hes short and plays defense.#i cannot see dan wilds playing an individual sport. that woman was made to lead teams to victory #nicky met erik bc they are synch partners!#all of these sports would be radically different if they were in the winter olympics btw #aftg #all for the game #neil josten #andrew minyard #kevin day

Genuine question as I am curious — I know it’s pretty obvious with his expressions/ body language that Daniel seemed shy/insecure(?) about having his braces, but has he ever outright said anything about feeling that way with them? Just out of curiosity as I am new around here!

“I feel very different in terms of looks. Fortunately, experience also bought me better looks. I’m not really too fond of showing people photos of me when I was younger”

#well he doesn’t exactly say he was self-conscious of his braces but he was definitely very self-conscious about how he looked #it’s always very interesting to me the way Daniel talks about his younger self #it’s so different from how other f1 drivers talk about their early days #he’s so self-critical of younger him that I wish he was a bit more forgiving of younger him #the way he’s admitted he was never a standout talent during his karting days #that he was so hesitant to get involved in battles that his dad got mad at him #the way on the gypsy tales podcast he talks about Motocross riders being fearless and how he doesn’t have that until jase interrupts him -#to say how how mad he is because just a few days ago he was throwing a car around on a street circuit at some 300kph #the way in this video with will he describes himself walking into the paddock like a ‘headless chick’#the way he has said so many times he was scared to move away from home. how uncertain he was he would ever succeed #and then that one video towards the end of 2022 when he says ‘I was just Daniel then’ in reference to his younger self #like he has such a distinct way of looking at his younger self. like he views that part of him almost as a separate entity from the him now #and I guess that’s because it took a lot of work and years to build that confidence of becoming Daniel ricciardo #a confidence he got as he managed to survive the shark tank of the red bull junior academy #a confidence he got from beating his 4x wdc teammate. from winning the most insane races #and that confidence then getting completely decimated in the space of a few months in 2022 #and even now the more he says he is confident you can still see that tiny hesitancy #how every time he gets a good result you see how he yearns to lean back into his confident Daniel schtick #and he may just completely embrace it soon anyway <3 #daniel ricciardo #anon ask

the way they’re always celebrating each other’s achievements, whether they both did well or just one of them. but when it’s both of them up there <3

#help me i’m having an insane #piarles #the way it doesn’t matter whether they both did well or just one of them they’re gonna be happy for each other anyway #I think that’s one of the most special things #because yeah it’s easy to be happy if you’re both having a good day but they way they’ll celebrate the other person #even if they themselves have had a shit race or dnfed #THATS what supporting each other is #and it’s so ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️#pierre gasly #charles leclerc #f1 #anyway I need the podium.

Fun fact: Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc both made their Formula 1 debut at the Australian Grand Prix (2015 and 2018 respectively), and both finished P13 in their first race.

#max verstappen #charles leclerc #lestappen #just soulmate things 🤣#oh the good old days when Max’s renault engine would go POOF #😵‍💫#australian gp 2015 #australian gp 2018 #okay the Australia thing isn’t surprising because that’s where most people debuted #since it’s was the first race for 20 something years #but i totally didn’t realize they both classified in p13 😅
