Morning thought bubble: Fun weekend in sports incoming. We have the Stanley Cup Final starting, game 2 in the NBA Finals, Dodgers vs. Yankees series in NY, the Belmont Stakes, the French Open Finals, Cricket World Cup, NCAA Track & Field Championships, and more. Gotta love it.

TODAY’S TRIVIA — The 156th Belmont Stakes, the third and final race for the Triple Crown, is today at 6:41pm ET on FOX.

No cocktail question today because it’s too easy: the official cocktail of the race is the Belmont Jewel, which is a mix of bourbon, lemonade, and pomegranate.

What is the nickname for the Belmont Stakes?

Yesterday’s Trivia: The San Francisco/Bay Area is the metro/city on that list that didn’t have all 4 championships. They have NBA, NFL, and MLB titles, but the San Jose Sharks have not been able to bring their city a Stanley Cup.

Many of you selected the D.C. Area, but the nation’s capital has all four: 5 Super Bowls/NFL championships, 2 World Series, 1 Stanley Cup, and 1 NBA championship (in 1978, the Washington Bullets won the final). One interesting fun fact is that the rallying cry for the Bullets that season was the famed phrase "It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings," as they were long shots to win the final.

One of these nicknames is for the Daytona 500
