Belmont Stakes Day

It's going to be a day at the Races, but before we can admire the horseflesh, we have a morning to fill and a train to catch out to Belmont Park.  It was not easy to do the last.

The top of the Mr. K marble building

Jeffery needed cool pants for the races, so we shopped

while puzzling over where to go, I didn't realize that I was "at risk"

more subway tile art

the train we tried to board, but couldn't fit onto

squished even with the door closed!  Jeffery and I rode home the same way

At the Belmont Park

hand-stamps and a souvenier map

This is just a tiny piece of the crowd.  The noise in the hallway was outrageous; overwhelming.

One of my favorite outfits at the races

hats

another hat

actual horses, doing a warm-up run pre-race

more ladies in hats

even horses need an ambulance standing by

The line to our train.  A half-hour later, we'd only moved 5 or 6 feet, when we were told we couldn't go that way

the line behind us for the trains before we were dispersed to walk to where-ever we could find transit home.  As one cop told us, it was "every man for himself"

Ah!  59th and Lexington subway!  We're home

same tile mural, showing it's size
Tomorrow, I hope to add some race photos from Jeffery's camera!  And I have today's photos to show you all, too.
