Belmont Stakes 2009 Post Time and Positions

Mine That Bird and Calvin Borel will likely be the center of attention in the 2009 Belmont Stakes, at least until a horse and jockey cross the finish line. If they win the Belmont horse race, be prepared for more of the excitement seen in the 2009 Kentucky Derby, as Calvin has shown he's full of spizzerinctum. For jockey Calvin Borel (who rode Mine That Bird in the Kentucky Derby and Rachel Alexandra in the Pimlico Preakness Stakes), a win at the 2009 Belmont Stakes would be history in the making, with him becoming the first jockey to win the Crown on different horses. ABC television (with live belmont stakes tv coverage) would be happy about that too.

By the way, it’s not Belmont Steaks, I must’ve typed that in by accident 5 times while doing some preliminary searching, and noticed I was getting non-horserace information (duh). Also, yesterday Dr. Michael Dorausch interviewed Dr. Jeri Anderson (a competitive horse racing expert and Sacramento chiropractor), and she shared this regarding thoroughbred horses receiving chiropractic care.

Many race horses are adjusted to keep them at peak performance. Many of the horses on our United States Equestrian Team are adjusted. Check out the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association for details: www.animalchiropractic.org.
