We turned on the horse race for the Belmont stakes and Kaliah was SOOO into it!

| She as hollering and jumping up and down watching them race!! |

| She gathered all her toy horses so they could race too. |
American Pharaoh won!!
American Pharoah was the 12th Triple Crown winner in history and ending the longest drought between victors There had been only 11 of them in history, and America had elected five presidents, fought three wars and lived through at least three economic downturns since Affirmed had last completed the feat in 1978
American Pharoah won the Belmont by five and a half lengths, in 2 minutes 26.65 seconds.
It was very exciting to watch and we were all on the edge of our seats!! Ron was very proud when Derek told him that Kaliah was into the race and he said
"Finally a girl after my own heart!"
