ELMONT, New York -- The sound was ever familiar. The voices of more than 100,000 joined as one, rising into the warm evening air with a force greater than desperation, only to fall in silence. Again, tears were shed in disappointment, not in joy. Again, horse racing's Triple Crown remained the province of fireside tales told by aging men and women who remember when Big Red rolled around the Belmont oval in 1973, or when when Slew trounced them all in '77, or when Stevie Cauthen went to the left-handed whip and carried Affirmed beneath the wire in front of Alydar. Again, a generation or more remained without a legend of its own to pass along, left to solider on with musty old stories caked in the cobwebs of time, wondering what history might look like in the flesh.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rss/si_topstories/~4/DcbyhK5da9Q
