American Pharoah Wins 2015 Triple Crown

I attended my first Belmont Stakes Triple Crown Race on June 6, 2015. I had been to the Kentucky Derby this year with my brother and several of his friends. So far, it has been the only Kentucky Derby that my brother has joined me for. The decision to go to the Triple Crown race did not come up until I watched American Pharoah win the Preakness. I watched that race on TV. Surely, there had been other Kentucky Derby winners that had won the Preakness; but this was the first one that got my attention and made me want to go to the Triple Crown race. I invited everyone that went with me to the Kentucky Derby. Only Caleb could go so he and I bought tickets, booked flights and split a hotel room in New York at the Marriott Marquis on Times Square.
