Alas, there shall be no Triple Crown winner this year. The last Triple Crown winner was in 1978, And the drought continues, this time to 24 years.
The biggest upset engineered by long shot Sarava, wins the Belmont Stakes (1 1/2 miles) in New York at 70-1 odds, Medaglia d'Oro takes 2nd, and Proud Citizen at 3rd. War Emblem, who faltered at the beginning. almost falling at the start, closed in and had as much as a first place standing at the one mile point, ended up in 7th place, 19 1/2 lengths behind.
Until next year.
