Before "they're off", a special concert will take place today in Pimlico's infield featuring country performers Rodney Atkins (former FrogFest headliner) and Rachel Farley.

June 9, 2011 You didn't have to be a betting man or woman to experience goose bumps while watching Secretariat win the Belmont Stakes by 31 lengths to complete horse racing's Triple Crown on this day, June 9, 1973. The big chesnut 3-year old became the first horse in twenty-five years to win the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes all in dominating fashion and endearing himself to the entire nation. The late John Stewart recorded this moving tribute to arguably the greatest race horse in history. Remember the excitement and enjoy.
