FOCUS: Gwinnett angle to Saturday’s Triple Crown horse race

By Keith Mason | This weekend, millions of Americans will see American Pharoah compete for a Triple Crown in the Belmont Stakes in New York, the final leg of America’s oldest continuous outdoor sport—horse racing.

I will be at the Belmont Saturday with a stake in the race, as a partner in Donegal Racing’s thoroughbred, Keen Ice, who will run from post position No. 7. A racing fan for years, I am in an awkward position—pulling against a Triple Crown contender in my favorite sport. I would not be terribly disappointed to finish behind what could become America’s first Triple Crown winner since 1978. But I would be exhilarated to actually win the Belmont against such an outstanding horse.
