The final big horse race of the year was this weekend. The Belmont Stakes.
Another exciting race with 17-1 odds horse Dornoch winning the race by half a horse over Mindframe. Sierra Leone, the Derby runner-up who went off as the favorite, was third and Honor Marie fourth.
It's the sixth consecutive year a different horse won each of the three Triple Crown races.

A mother of four in Indonesia was eaten alive by a massive snake as she was making her way through the forest to get to a market near her house.
During her walk, the snake reportedly slithered up to her and sank its teeth into her leg before wrapping itself around her body and strangling the life out of her, and then at her!
Noni and the others sliced open the viper with machetes, confirming their worst fears that Farida was dead inside it.
..and checking off Indonesia on a place to visit. Check.

It's official ... Pat Sajak has retired from "Wheel of Fortune" after more than four decades.
Wow! What a run for the now-former host of the popular TV game show, which also featured his beautiful sidekick, Vanna White, who will stay on as chief letter turner. Going forward, Vanna will be joined by Pat's replacement Ryan Seacrest.
Friday night's show was indeed the last for Pat after 8,000 episodes over 41 seasons.
“Well, the time has come to say goodbye. It’s been an incredible privilege to be invited into millions of homes night after night, year after year, decade after decade.”

Today's Useless Fact of the Day - There were sheep in Central Park in New York until 1934 when the city had them moved so people wouldn't EAT them during the Great Depression.
That would be Baaaaad.
