The last leg of the Triple Crown culminates in New York just outside of the city on Long Island.  The Belmont Stakes is the last stop for a 3-year-old colt to make history.  If he is lucky enough to have won the Kentucky Derby and The Preakness he now has a long tough race ahead of him.  The Belmont at a mile and half is the longest race he will have encountered.  If he can win this final Jewel in the Crown, he will go down as one of the in history to accomplish this feat.  The Belmont Stakes though, is not just about the racing, New Yorkers love fashion and what better place than at Belmont Park.  Increasingly more women are adding the hat or fascinator to their outfit nor just at Kentucky Derby but also the Preakness and The Belmont.  This year on June the 10th you will see a huge parade of ladies wearing beautiful big hats and fabulous fascinators.
