We trust you enjoy the 201 races and find something useful on our website.</p> 202 <p> 203 <p>YES. It HAPPENED. Justify and Mike Smith become Triple Crown Champions - the 13th in over a century! With a winning time of 2:28.18, Justify won handily wire to wire. Thanking Jesus Christ, after the race, Mike Smith became the oldest winner of the Triple Crown. Big Money Mike has been riding before he could walk! He is a humble man and a super athlete. And we congratulation him, Bob Baffert and all the connections of Justify!</p> 204 <p> Justify handily won the Kentucky Derby. Concerns over a bruise proved to be nothing when Bob Baffert sent the plucky colt out to to Pimlico and what proved to be a muddy and FOGGY Preakness Stakes. In fact, you may have wondered if your TV had problems as the fog was so thick that it was difficult to see the horses! In the end, Justify triumphed and is one of 36 horses to lay claim to winning the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes.</p> 205 206 <p>In 2015, history was made when we witnessed a Triple Crown victory by American Pharoah and Victor Espinoza.</p> 207 <!-- <br><p>Nyquist will NOT be running at the Belmont Stakes.</p> 208 <p>Nyquist has an elevated fever. After his loss to Exaggerator at the Preakness Stakes, his connections have made the decision not to have him race at Belmont and instead he will be on a dosage of antibiotics to help rid him of the infection in his system. Hopefully we will see Nyquist race at the 2016 Breeders' Cup. The question now is what horse can possibly beat the Preakness winner and Kentucky Derby runner up, Exaggerator?</p> --> 209 <p>In 2014 we saw Victor Espinoza ride California Chrome in what many hoped to be end to the Triple Crown drought. However, much like the brown and burnt lawns in California, Victor and and California Chrome came up dry and couldn't manage to make it rain; and once again, fans were let slack-jawed with what might have been.</p> 210 <p>
210 In 2014, California finished a disheartening 4th place to the winner Tonalist. There is a list of infamy for horses who were eligible to win the Triple Crown but then did not manage to win-- the <a href="/kentuckyderby-preakness">horses who won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes</a> but who lost the Belmont Stakes. Thankfully, American Pharoah's name was not to be added to this list and instead both Espinoza and AP become immortal and ended the break in Triple Crown victory's since 1978 when Affirmed won.</p> 211 212 213 <!-- --> 214 215 216 <p><strong>Where is the Belmont Stakes?</strong><br> 217 <a href="belmontpark">Belmont 218 Park</a> in Elmont, New York.</p> 219 <p> 220 <strong>When is the Belmont Stakes?</strong><br> </p> 221 <p>Because of its distance and status as the race that can make 222 or break a Triple Crown champion, the Belmont Stakes has been 223 the venue for some of the most famous moments in American 224 racing. </p> 225 <br> 226 <p> <!-- <div id="qp_all319083" style="width:500px;"><STYLE>#qp_main319083 .qp_btna:hover input {background: rgb(0, 53, 95) none repeat scroll 0% 0%!important}</STYLE><div id="qp_main319083" results=0 cmt=0 tzs=-8 tze=-7 style="border-radius: 11px;margin: 0px;padding: 16px 17px;background: url("http://cloud.poll-maker.com/15119/horsehead-only.jpg") no-repeat scroll 50% 50% / 50% 50%, rgb(255, 255, 255) none repeat scroll 0% 0%;font-family: "Open Sans",sans-serif,Arial;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);border: 1px solid rgb(219, 217, 217);max-width: 800px;font-size: 6px"><div style="font-size: 14px;background: rgb(0, 53, 95) none repeat scroll 0% 0%;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family: "Open Sans",sans-serif,Arial;border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);padding: 0px"><div style="line-height: 30px;padding: 10px 15px"><div><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Will American Pharoah win the Triple Crown?</span></div></div></div><form id="qp_form319083" action="//www.poll-maker.com/results319083x8a7a4dBD-12" method="post" target="_blank" style="display: inline;margin: 0px;padding: 0px"><div style="padding: 0px"><input type=hidden name="qp_d319083" value="42146.3726273136-42146.3726147395"><div style="color: rgb(107, 107, 107);font-family: "Open Sans",sans-serif,Arial;font-size: 16px;line-height: 1.5;padding: 10px;margin: 10px 0px;clear: both" class="qp_a" onClick="var c=this.getElementsByTagName('INPUT')[0]; if((!event.target?event.srcElement:event.target).tagName!='INPUT'){c.checked=(c.type=='radio'?true:!c.checked)};var i=this.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('INPUT');for(var k=0;k<i.length;k++){i[k].parentNode.parentNode.setAttribute('sel',i[k].checked?1:0)}"><span style="display: block;padding-left: 30px;cursor: inherit"><input style="float: left;width: 20px;margin-left: -25px;margin-top: 2px;padding: 0px;height: 20px" name="qp_v319083" type="radio" value="1" />Yes!</span></div><div style="color: rgb(107, 107, 107);font-family: "Open Sans",sans-serif,Arial;font-size: 16px;line-height: 1.5;padding: 10px;margin: 10px 0px;clear: both" class="qp_a" onClick="var c=this.getElementsByTagName('INPUT')[0]; if((!event.target?event.srcElement:event.target).tagName!='INPUT'){c.checked=(c.type=='radio'?true:!c.checked)};var i=this.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('INPUT');for(var k=0;k<i.length;k++){i[k].parentNode.parentNode.setAttribute('sel',i[k].checked?1:0)}"><span style="display: block;padding-left: 30px;cursor: inherit"><input style="float: left;width: 20px;margin-left: -25px;margin-top: 2px;padding: 0px;height: 20px" name="qp_v319083" type="radio" value="2" />No way.</span></div></div><div style="padding-left: 0px;height: 40px;clear: both"><a style="float: left;width: 50%;max-width: 140px;box-sizing: border-box;padding-right: 5px;text-decoration: none" class="qp_btna" href="#"><input name="qp_b319083" style="width: 100%;height: 40px;background-color: rgb(11, 121, 211);font-family: "Open Sans",sans-serif,Arial;font-size: 16px;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);cursor: pointer;border: 0px none;border-radius: 0px" type="submit" btype="v" value="Vote" /></a><a style="float: left;width: 50%;max-width: 140px;box-sizing: border-box;padding-left: 5px;text-decoration: none" class="qp_btna" href="#"><input name="qp_b319083" style="width: 100%;height: 40px;background-color: rgb(11, 121, 211);font-family: "Open Sans",sans-serif,Arial;font-size: 16px;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);cursor: pointer;border: 0px none;border-radius: 0px" type="submit" btype="r" value="Results" /></a></div><a id="qp_a319083" style="float:right;font-family:Arial;font-size:10px;color:rgb(0,0,0);text-decoration:none" href="http://www.poll-maker.com">Poll Maker</a></form><div style="display:none"><div id="qp_rp319083" style="font-size: 14px;width: 5ex;text-align: right;overflow: hidden;position: absolute;right: 5px;height: 1.5em;line-height: 1.5em"></div><div id="qp_rv319083" style="font-size: 14px;line-height: 1.5em;width: 0%;text-align: right;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);box-sizing: border-box;padding-right: 3px"></div><div id="qp_rb319083" style="font-size: 14px;line-height: 1.5em;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);

Creme Fraiche thus became the first 255 gelding to win the classic Belmont Stakes. Woody Stephens was 256 back in 1986 with another Belmont charge, Danzig Connection, who 257 went on to win the Belmont, giving Stephens his fifth 258 consecutive Belmont Stakes victory. Trainer D.

Racing has not seen a Triple Crown champion since 1978, 284 when Affirmed swept the three-race series.</span></p> 285 <p><span class="bodytext">A crowd of 85,818, the largest in New 286 York Racing history, attended the 1999 running, hoping to see 287 Charismatic become Racing's 12th Triple Crown winner. 288 Unfortunately, during the stretch run, the colt suffered a 289 condylar and sesamoid bone fracture in his left foreleg, and 290 finished third.</span></p> 291 <p>Over the years we have seem triumph and defeat with suprise finishes. Who can forget Big Brown -- favored to crush the field-- 292 finish his Triple Crown in last place. In 2009, we witnessed Summer Bird triumph over his kin-- Mine That Bird.</p> 293 <p><b><h3>Brief History of the Belmont Stakes</h3></b><span id="mainContent"> 294 The first Belmont in the United States was not the famous stakes race or even 295 the man for whom it is named. Rather, the first Belmont was a race horse that 296 arrived in California in 1853 from his breeding grounds of Franklin, Ohio. The 297 Belmont Stakes, however, are named after August Belmont, a financier who made 298 quite a name and fortune for himself in New York politics and society. 299 Obviously, Mr. Belmont was also quite involved in horse racing, and his imprint 300 is even intertwined within the history of the Kentucky Derby. 301 <a href="belmont">More History of the Belmont Stakes</a>. . 302 .<br> 303 <br> 304 <br> 305 <b><h3>Some Monumental Belmont Moments</h3></b> 306 In 1890, the Belmont was moved from Jerome Park to Morris Park, a mile and 307 three-eighths track located a few miles east of what is now Van Cortlandt Park 308 in the Bronx. The Belmont was held at Morris Park until Belmont Park's opening 309 in 1905.<br> 310 <br> 311 Here's a tidbit you didn't see in Derby or Preakness history. When Grey Lag won 312 the Belmont in 1921, it marked the first running of the Belmont Stakes in the 313 counter-clockwise manner of American fashion. This 53rd running was a mile and 314 three-eighths over the main course; previous editions at Belmont Park had been 315 run clockwise, in accordance with English custom, over a fish-hook course which 316 included part of the training track and the main dirt oval.<br> 317 <br> 318 The first post parade in this country came in the 14th running of the Belmont in 319 1880. Until then the horses went directly from paddock to post.<br> 320 <br> 321 The Belmont has been run at various distances. From 1867 tp 1873 it was 1 5/8 322 miles; from 1874 to 1889 it was 1 1/2 miles; from 1890 through 1892, and in 323 1895, it was held at 1 1/4 miles; from 1896 through 1925 it was 1 5/8 miles; 324 since 1925 the Belmont Stakes has been a race of 1 1/2 miles. <br> 325 326 <b><h3>Champion Sires</h3></b> 327 A total of eleven Belmont Stakes winners have sired at least one 328 other Belmont winner.<br> 329 <br> 330 Man o' War heads the list of Belmont champion sires. Not only did he win the 331 race himself in 1920, but three of his subsequent sires won it as well: American 332 Flag in 1925, Crusader in 1926 and War Admiral in 1937, who went on to win the 333 Triple Crown.<br> 334 <br> 335 Commando won the 1901 running, then sired Peter Pan, the 1907 champ and the 336 Colin, the 1908 winner.<br>
