  • Big Red's Son Risen Star Dominated the Belmont

    It was the morning of the 1988 Belmont Stakes and all was not well in the Belmont stakes barn, a four-sided barn encircling an English-style courtyard. In a corner of the barn, Risen Star’s troublesome ankle was being tubbed in ice, and it was still to be determined whether the handsome, strapping son of Secretariat would be able to run in the ...

  • Eight Spot - By Evan Hammonds

    Muir Station Road, north of Lexington, runs from Paris Pike to Briar Hill Road. The road is an extension of the more-well-traveled Iron Works Pike, or Kentucky Route 1973. The week before the Belmont Stakes (G1), that makes us think of Secretariat and his definitive 31-length victory in the third leg of the Triple Crown in 1973.  At the ...

  • Justify Would be Second Undefeated Triple Crown Winner

    As if the Triple Crown club—at just 12 winners—wasn't exclusive enough, the number of undefeated horses to sweep the American classics is so exclusive that—with only Seattle Slew accomplishing the feat—it's not even a club.Justify will look to become the 13th Triple Crown winner and second undefeated Triple Crown winner in the June 9 Belmont ...

  • An Early Look at the 2018 Belmont Stakes Pace

    By J. Keeler Johnson (''Keelerman'') Twitter: @J_Keelerman With a little more than a week remaining until Justify seeks Triple Crown glory in the Belmont Stakes (gr. I) at Belmont Park, I thought now might be a good time to examine the potential pace of the race and how it might affect the outcome. Three years ago, when American Pharoah was ...

  • Counting Down to the Crown - By Evan Hammonds

    As Justify prepares at Churchill Downs for a run at the Triple Crown in the June 9 Belmont Stakes (G1), one question turns to who will face off against the son of Scat Daddy in the Big Apple? Post positions won’t be drawn until June 5 at a specialty event at Citi Field, the home of the New York Mets. Who’s in? We’re not sure…but we do know who ...

Should Justify win the Belmont, WinStar will become the first owner of the 21st century to have three Belmont winners. Also, ...

  • Cheers, Tears, and Silence at the Belmont Stakes

    There is something exciting about a horse attempting to sweep the Triple Crown, but when that horse is undefeated, as Justify is, it adds a special element to what is already an historic event. The Belmont Stakes has seen four  undefeated horses attempt to sweep the Triple Crown, with Seattle Slew the only one who succeeded. The ...

  • Will Dr. Dorr Win Again in Gold Cup at Santa Anita?

    By J. Keeler Johnson (''Keelerman'') Twitter: @J_Keelerman With a couple of weeks remaining before Justify bids for history in the Belmont Stakes, we have some time this week to turn our attention away from the three-year-olds—which have dominated the racing action over the last six months or so—and focus on the older horses set to compete ...
