Belmont Stakes
| |
The
oldest of America's three Triple Crown races, the Belmont Stakes
was first run on June 19, 1867, at the Jerome Park race course,
an oddly shaped, English-style track that required its runners
to negotiate three turns instead of two because of a dip in the
middle of the backstretch. A filly, Ruthless, won the first
Belmont's $1,850 winners purse, outlasting DeCourcey by a head. |
2010 Belmont Stakes
Winner
WinStar Farm’s Drosselmeyer gave Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott his first win in a Triple Crown race, wearing down pacesetter First Dude and holding off a late charge from Fly Down for a 13-1 upset in the $1 million Belmont Stakes (gr. I) under Mike Smith June 5 at Belmont Park
This was the first Belmont win in his 13th attempt for fellow Hall of Famer Smith, who guided the son of Distorted Humor to a three-quarters of a length score for his first stakes victory. The final time for the 1 1/2-mile third leg of the Triple Crown was 2:31.57 over a fast track.

2009 Belmont Stakes
Winner |
The winner of the 2009 Belmont Stakes is Summer Bird. Mine
That Bird was the favorite to win the race and came in
third.
In true Bird fashion, Mine That Bird was dead last during
the first portion of the race. Summer Bird was running in
fifth place. People talk about things happening fast like in
a New York minute; perhaps we should coin the phrase “in
horse racing seconds.” In a matter of seconds the playing
field changed. Mine That Bird moved up to the front to take
the lead, but couldn’t hold the lead as Summer Bird out ran
him and won the race. Sire Birdstone should be very proud of
his offspring. |

2007 Belmont
Stakes Winner |
| Before a crowd
of 46,870 under overcast skies at Belmont Park, Rags to
Riches lived up to her breeding and out-gamed favored Curlin
by a head to become the first filly to win the Belmont
Stakes in 102 years and only the third Belmont Stakes
winning filly. |
 |
The previous winning fillies were Ruthless in 1867 and Tanya in
1905. Nineteen other fillies had previously run in the Belmont
Stakes. With John Velazquez as her rider for the first time,
Rags to Riches also gave trainer Todd Pletcher his first win in
a Triple Crown race. Rags to Riches completed the mile and a
half trip in 2:28.74 and paid her backers $10.60 to win.
