The Grade 1, $1 million Belmont Stakes, the 1 ˝-mile “Test of the Champion” for three-year-olds and the final and most demanding leg of the Visa Triple Crown, is already one of the great events in sports.

This year, the 137th running of the Belmont Stakes on Saturday, June 11, will again be the centerpiece of Belmont Park’s 60-day Spring/Summer Meet, but it will be an even more special event, as this year marks the 100th anniversary of Belmont Park.

First Thursday! May 5th 2005 - 7:00pm

There are some traditions that cannot be broken...

In celebration of Cinco De Maio/"El Drinko De Mayo" the next 1st Thursday is
going to be at El Rio Grande.  The address is 160 East 38th Street--the
uptown side.  It is on the corner of 3rd Avenue.  It's an indoor/outdoor
place.  Hopefully the weather will be nice and we can hang outside.  If it
rains, we can use both sides and walk through the kitchen.  The phone # is
212-867-0922.  They do serve food.

Sorry, there are no drink specials, but there will be plenty of good
Margaritas and the bar is having lots of give-a-ways and there own specials
for the night.

Hope to see you there.
