Yes, horse racing really does continue after the Belmont Stakes. For those of you with any interest in it, it looks like we may be seeing the rise of a new female champion. Azeri, the 2002 Horse of the Year who has won the Eclipse award for top older female horse the last two years, was soundly beaten in the Ogden Phipps Handicapp yesterday afternoon at Belmont Park. Sightseek was the winner. 2002 Two-Year-Old champion Storm Flag Flying placed. It looks like Azeri's domination of this division may be coming to an end. There will be a real competition to see who takes away this year's Eclipse award.
