THE BELMONT STAKES

Saturday morning we rode the train to Long Island for the Belmont Stakes horse races. We crossed our fingers to see California Chrome win the triple-crown. Unfortunately, history was not made that day. HOWEVER, we did see some pretty crazy other things ...

Helping Ricardo place a few bets 

Beforehand I had a vision of what the day would look like... Basically just Gatsby + horses. I was a little naive, the place was a jungle at times. Nonetheless, there was not a lack of amazing hats, people-watching, and a good time. 

Giving Cam some girl-loves 

We enjoyed the sunshine, the freshly-squeezed lemonade, and the picnic-food in “the backyard” as we lounged, watched the races, and took an incredible amount of photos.

Due to the excessive crowds it took hours to get back into the city. Once we did we were starving and met back up at PJ Clarke’s for dinner across from Julliard and the temple. In effort to continue our classy-day we walked over to the Opera House for our own ballet performance and (more) photo-opts.

Obviously I enjoyed it maybe a little too much…  

Aaand met up with more friends, walked over to Magnolia Bakery, and sat outside to enjoy the night because the weather was perfect.
