Atricle Dump - The Belmont Stakes – The Third Jewel in Horse Racing's Triple Crown
Corporate pipelines tend to be political tools and are rarely a true reflection of what’s happening within the sales function. Most often, they are used to show management what management wants to see.Word comes down from management that “there is not enough in the pipeline”, so the sales reps begin to populate the pipeline with data — any data — to show they’re working on something. This keeps management off their backs for a little while longer but if a large deal is put into the pipeline this then gets focus and attention because the big guns want to kn

This year’s best prospect for the Triple Crown, Barbaro, is recovering from a life threating injury sustained in the Preakness. In 131 years of horse racing history 31 horses have gone to the starting gate with the Triple Crown on the line, but only 11 horses have managed to accomplish what is arguably the most difficult event in all of sports.
As the race that can make or break a Triple Crown champion, the Belmont Stakes has established itself as the ultimate test of championship stamina in this country. At a mile and a half, its distance is a rarity in American dirt races although it has been shortened from its original mile and five eights length. First run in 1867, it’s the oldest of the Triple Crown races and the fourth oldest Stakes race in North America behind the Phoenix Stakes (now Keeneland’s Phoenix Breeder’s Cup) in 1831, The Queen’s Plate (Canada) in 1860 and the Travers (Saratoga) in 1864.

When I was a youngster I was among a very few latchkey kids in our neighborhood, but today, according to the Census Bureau, at least seven million “latchkey children” return to an empty house on any given afternoon. Most of us with latchkey kids have created a list of rules for them to follow, covering topics such as snacks, strangers at the door, phone calls, etc. They are pretty much the same ones our parents outlined for us as kids. But today, we have a growing list of additional worries to address, such as television programs, video games, computer programs s

“There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say ‘Yes, I've got dreams, of course, I've got dreams.’ Then they put the box away and bring it out once in a while to look in it, and yep, they're still there. These are great dreams, but they never even get out of the box.” – Erma BombeckAre you ready to find those dreams you gave up on, dust them off, polish them up and start making them come true? Are you ready to go for what you want and ignore all the voices (both internal and external) that try to discourage you from even trying

Starting with Silver Charm in 1997 we’ve seen 6 horses enter the Belmont with the Triple Crown within reach, only to see them fall victim to this demanding race. In some cases, like 2004’s Smarty Jones, we’ve seen them end their careers here.
Even without the Triple Crown at stake, the Belmont is deserving of attention for its challenge and tradition, it part summed up by its trophy, a solid silver bowl and cover made by Tiffany & Co. Topped by a silver figure of 1869 Belmont winner Fenian the bowl is supported by three horses - Herod, Eclipse and Matchem, representing the respective superior grandsons of the three Foundation Sires of Thoroughbreds: the Byerly Turk, the Darley
