History in the 2023 Belmont Stakes: First Woman Trainer to Win a Triple Crown Race!

[@suzanne9622]

Arcangelo's success is a tribute to the late great Arrogate an incredible horse gone too soon at only 7 years old. Arrogate passed on his greatness to this beautiful colt. I wish there had been some mention of Arrogate and how special he was. Arcangelo looks so much like his sire.

[@frantroje3177]

I hear you! What a horse Arrogate was and I like seeing his progeny succeed….

[@South3West77]

A great storyline for this years Belmont race, that dark grey definitely showed heart. Congrats to the team.

[@CastleMc]

Always appreciate your videos! Thanks so much for sharing the events/places/horses for those of us who can't be there in person. Especially love your behind the scenes footage on the backside of works +washes, etc. What a great Belmont day, salute to the immortal Secretariat and to Arcangelo and Jenna Antonucci!!

[@apharoah12]

Thanks for watching!! I’m glad you enjoyed!

[@SHENworks]

I second that, @CastleMc! ❤

[@jrock2460]

The great, mighty Arrogate. Gone far too soon, but sired a KY Oaks winner and a Belmont Stakes winner in the infancy of his sire years. I think he only foaled 3 crops. We witnessed his greatness once again in the form of Arcangelo, a magnificent gray with tremendous talent and heart. It has already been 3+ years since Arrogate’s passing. A devastating blow. May we see much more of this beauty on the race track!

@Apharoah12 that was a great video, once again you surpassed the TV broadcast by miles. Loved your coverage. Was so disappointed watching the race on Fox: no audio in our area and terrible photography. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy the different aspects of that momentous occasion. You did a fantastic job, as always!

my gosh, the gallop out! you couldn't tell that on the Fox coverage, I had no idea! he went Secretariat on the rest of the field - Forte, Tapit Trice & Hit Show/Angel of Empire timed their closes perfectly, & made admirable runs, because Arcangelo clearly wasn't slowing down, but as soon as they crossed the wire, Forte, Tapit Trice & Hit Show/Angel of Empire slowed down dramatically, but Arcangelo just kept galloping like one of those jumps runners who just gallops along for four miles ...and so funny to see Maggie take off on her buckskin pony, to do the interview, hehe

[@allanritz5323]

Baffert did not look too happy with the ride Velasquez gave his horse.

[@flyhigh7918]

I heard the lady talking in the background, saying, You don't need a million dollar horse. That's true, you don't. Mine That Bird only cost $9500 when he was bought. He easily won the Kentucky derby in 2009.

[@juliemurphy5934]

I need to study up on my bloodlines. LOTS of these colts were Tapit bred either on the top or bottom side. Since the winner was distaff bred, he must be a good mare sire. I rarely have seen one sire listed that many times in one race. But maybe I'm just an old fuddy duddy and he's super famous. Wish I had a large heart mare to breed to Tapit.

[@SSN862]

Tapit is one of the greatest sires in history no doubt. His stud fee was once the highest in the world when he was younger ($300,000!!!!). He has sired 4 belmont stakes winners. He has sired 157 stakes winners, 30 (I guess now 31) grade 1 winners and 8 champions. Including last years topped ranked racehorse in the world Flightline (had the highest rating in timeform ever recorded in the USA and the 2nd highest ever just behind Frankel).

[@kymmagnavita740]

Should have been Named the TAPIT Stakes judging by the lineage... sheesh, I recall Deputy Minister having his bloodline thru so many Derby/TC Races Horses in 70's and beyond. Tapit is right there now. BTW - AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME footage. THANKS!

[@miguelnolasco2192]

I picked Forte to win. His jockey needs to have him be near the lead. Like he ran in the Florida Derby , ten weeks ago. I had the winner as my 3rd choice. He was in my Pick 3, pick 4 , pick 5 and pick 6 combinations. So, I won on all 4 tickets, anyway.

[@SaraNightfire1]

He was a wreck in the saddle up area also, constantly fighting the handlers and spooking. That wore him down a lot also. Not saying poor riding didn’t help, but using up your energy before a race doesn’t help.

[@fredash8059]

He was obviously held back

[@mcq1125]

Was looking like Baffert wanted some answers?

[@SaraNightfire1]

It could have been the distance that killed National Treasure. The distance is a lot longer and I don’t think he even ran in the Derby. The fact the rail wasn’t used and he shot up to the front in a longer distance didn’t help.

[@jaimenateravalbuena7247]

[@__Salty]

Coverage should be open so it gets out there from many sources, but they think too small to see it as they focus on who covers and sees it. I would let everyone broadcast an event so it would grow and get a vastly larger audience and the best coverage. Small thinkers = so so coverage and smaller audiences.

Thanks for the comment I agree 100%. The panel was boring and as much as I revere Tom Durkin, New York Racing is called by Johnny I period.

Good to know. Makes me glad I don't have TV anymore. Also annoying that they cut off the Livestream at post time unless you subscribe to the channel. That makes no sense. We still have to watch the commercials, so the advertisers are getting what they paid for. It should be like watching it on network TV. What's the diff if I watch it on cable or on YT? Anyway this channel is the BEST coverage, and worth the wait to see it later.

@@victorcornet21 Yes it is and it happens so fast. Many are dead within an hour!

[@SaraNightfire1]

@@victorcornet21 It would at the best be (depending on the severity) career ending. At the worst, fatal. Horses can’t throw up, so they can get extremely sick from drinking too much too fast and soon. All grooms, handlers and jockeys know this and are extremely careful about how they slow down, cool off and let the horses drink after a race like this. Also, it’s completely obvious that this horse is extremely well loved and cared for. The owner and trainer would give him water if she thought it was safe earlier to do so. EDIT TO ADD: Run a mile and a half, in weather like this. Or even July or August and right afterwards take an ice cold hose or shower and wash yourself down to cool off as soon as you stop running. If you’re lucky, you’ll be fine. Which is a miracle. Most likely you’ll be suffering from muscle pain and stress, severe shock (abruptness of temperature can put animals and humans in shock, that’s why it’s so critical in extreme cold or heat exposure to slowly change their temperature, too fast can kill more likely than not doing anything), and severe stress to your body. Another reason they gallop a quarter of a mile to a half after the race, to let the horse slow down slowly so he can adjust to the change of speed.

A big win for the trainer, but keep this race in perspective: More than 4 seconds!!!!!! slower than Secretariat 50 years ago! All grade stakes races were very slow, where have the fast horses gone??? Secretariat's works record will forever stand the test of time!!! Very disappointing Belmont Stakes day.

[@sall4090roughcuts]

the track variant was playing the track very slow -- this was not a true fast track -- plus the conditions were not favorable over the last few days

[@SaraNightfire1]

@@sall4090roughcuts The air quality is the worst in the world right now there also. There was heavy debate over whether the race was even going to be run.

[@SSN862]

It's worth noting tracks today have been deepened for the safety of the horses since the 70s. Comparing times is hard because tracks are typically slower than they were 50 years ago. The track condition for the track on this day was not super fast. And the track condition for Secretariat's Belmont was extremely fast. So fast that multiple mediocre horses has broken speed records that week and hours before the 1973 Belmont. Of course, I am not trying to take away from Secretariat's feat. But comparing times today to times from half a century ago is difficult to do because tracks and rules have changed.
