Hey everyone. Quick Question from my side: A co-worker has been going on and on about this chick that sang New York, New York at the Horse race over the weekend, but didn’t get her name. I missed it, but I want to shut him up.
It was sung by a Broadway star who’s regularly performed New York at the Belmont for the last few years: Linda Eder.
From Belmont Park’s official website:
A bit of trivia: For the first 120+ runnings of this race, the song was “The Sidewalks of New York.” I’m unsure exactly when the switch was made, but I believe in was within the last decade.
