The Black Stallion's Courage (2011)
“One was a closed-circuit set showing only the races as they were run on the track below. The other was a standard set carrying, among other things, baseball.
For the jockeys who did not have mounts in the sixth race, Saturday afternoon, June 12, was no different from any other day. The larger group was watching the Mets play the Phillies at Shea Stadium. Then someone at the closed-circuit set said, “It’s on. Pick it up on yours and we’ll get the whole works, even the commercials.”
Michael Coste...llo, who had ridden in the fifth race and was done for the day, switched channels and there were no dissenters among the baseball fans. Instead everyone moved closer to the set to make room for others and there was a colorful merging of rich silks.
The picture on the screen showed the track below and the infield. “Welcome, ladies and gentlemen,” the announcer said, “to Belmont Park where within a few minutes we’ll witness the running of the historic Belmont Stakes, the third leg of America’s Triple Crown for three-year-old colts and fillies.”MoreLess
