16 C R Y D E R P O I N T June Out & About The Belmont Stakes – 148th Running Saturday, June 11 2150 Hempstead Turnpike, Elmont 718-641-4700 www.nyra.com/belmont Alas, our hopes were dashed for a possible Triple Crown this year when Exaggerator won the Preakness, beating out the odds-on favorite, Nyquist. Did you know that the last time a runner-up in the Kentucky Derby came back to win the Preakness was in 1993? Anyway, it’s pretty likely that these two rivals will return for the most difficult of the three races, the 1 ½ mile long Belmont Stakes. Tickets start at $25.

Don Rickles & Regis Philbin Thursday, June 16, 8pm Westbury Theater 860 Brush Hollow Road, Westbury 800-901-4092 Don Rickles turned 90 years old in May (please don’t ask me how I know these meaningless bits of trivia). So I’m anticipating a good deal of age jokes between Mr. Warmth and Regis this evening. By the way, Regis will turn 85 in August and holds the Guinness World Record as the individual who has spent the most time in front of a television camera. Yes, I am a wealth of information. Tickets are $91 and up. 16 cryder point courier | June 2016 | WWW.QNS.COM Happy Father’s Day to all you dads out there! Trivia time: Did you know that June is also National Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month? Do you care? I didn’t think so. Happy Together Tour Saturday, June 18, 8pm Westbury Theater 860 Brush Hollow Road, Westbury 800-901-4092 Holy cow, I started to feel old when I saw the line-up for this show. Not only did I recognize all of the artists, but I remembered the names of their original bands (more trivia!). Given the title of the show, it’s naturally headlined by The Turtles and includes Chuck Negron (Three Dog Night), Mark Lindsay (Paul Revere & the Raiders) and Gary Puckett (The Union Gap). When I was a young girl mamma told me not to come, but nowadays I like my kicks every now and then. Tickets go for $88 and up.
