Never thought I'd say Uncle Mo sired a Belmont winner, but here we are. Happy for Mike Repole, this is a race he's wanted to win for a long time and he did it with the son of one of his favorite horses.

[@robertwheeler129]

Disappointed in Rich Strike but the Irish w/ Irad aboard made all financially stable if that's how you phrase it ? The handle and attendance should treat you well.

[@frankcarolei9998]

Mike the crybaby repole

[@pootklopp]

I would kinda feel like it was a hollow victory when it was really a Donegal horse. Repole just bought in at the last minute.

[@agustindejesus7398]

Jason, a cheap Belmont with a lot of money.

I believe Uncle Mo was also trained by Todd Pletcher - Mo Donegal's trainer.

[@lilliana32y.0-checkmyvdeo4]

Nest has a bright, bright future!!! She did amazing and with a clean start could have done it! Her finish kick was amazing!

[@joannleichliter4308]

Considering that she had a place on the rail when running third, then the jockey had her bear to the outside, losing ground, before space opened up on the rail as it usually does on the turn, she did very well indeed. She probably wouldn't have won anyway had she taken advantage of the opening on the rail, but it would've been a lot closer.

[@agustindejesus7398]

Irad was crying his eyes out on the walk-back. So happy for both brothers!! Yay Mo and Nest!

[@bobcarlsson4]

A good place.

[@adotintheshark4848]

that little stumble at the beginning probably cost her the race.

[@michaelb5804]

On top of the rough start, Nest got kind of boxed in / cut off at the top of the stretch and had to go around a few horses. I'll bet she either would have won or the margin would have been slim if she wouldn't have been caught behind and had to go around. Straight up the rail may have put her in first.

[@chads4556]

Gotta say the Preakness and Belmont really felt like after thoughts this year. No Triple Crown hunt and small fields. Still enjoyable races, but the Kentucky Derby definitely gets way more love and hype.

[@andydahl181]

Way more entries will do that.

[@Yyyyyy5]

And if Mo Donegal hadn’t got pinched to the guard rail he would have won the Kentucky derby.

[@salleo406]

My comment is not to belittle the horses that raced in the triple crown, it is to identify the greatness of Secretariat. A recap, based on time, Secretariat wins the Kentucky Derby by 16 lengths, wins the Preakness by 7 lengths and wins the Belmont by 21 lengths. He remains undefeated in any triple crown race for 49 years.

[@jomc7425]

Secretariat wo the Belmont by 31 lengths. Chic Anderson announced 25 lengths at the end of the race but followed it with "but it could conceivably br more"

[@salleo406]

@@jomc7425 You may have misunderstood my comment. Based on time Rich Strike would have lost by 16 lengths to Secretariats Derby, Early Voting would have lost by 7 lengths to Secretariats Preakness and Mo Donegal would have lost by 21 lengths to Secretariats Belmont.

Secretariat lost to Onion the same season, and Preakness time was adjusted those are facts as well ....

Someone always pops up and points out "Well Secretariat...." lol. Congrats. I like to ask those why they feel the need. Can you tell us why you felt the need? Was it to feel smart? I mean, everyone in racing/associated with racing already knows what he did. Here's what else he did. He lost 25% of the time. LOL. 25%!!!!!!! Do the math. 25%. Basically, he had a great TC campaign and that was it. He lost 28% of the time not in TC races. That's mediocre. And its always the folks that know the least about horse racing that reference Secretariat It's because they think to themselves "If I mention Secretariat, it will sound like I know a lot" lol.

My advice to any owner/trainer winning future Kentucky Derbies, please give your 3 year old the opportunity to also win the Preakness Stakes, because, as was demonstrated this year, the Belmont Stakes is not guaranteed. It's not guaranteed because 3 year old horses are always improving.

[@montanamountaingarden476]

Neither is winning the Preakness 😂 Nothing in horse racing is guaranteed. They have explained countless times why they didn’t run in the Preakness, it was NEVER the plan to run in the Preakness, despite the fact Rich Strike won. The plan was always to skip the Preakness and wait until the Belmont. Eric Reed explained in an interview that he works his horses every 10 days, not every 7 days like most trainers, and he wasn’t about to change his horse’s routine just to make the Preakness. He’s doing what’s right by his horse and we should respect that

And by the way, if you want to compare horses, everyone has their opinion, right? the triple crown is a hard task to do, but that's just for 3-year-olds, and what happens after that? they have to run with the big boys, and the biggest race is the Breeders Cup baby, and there is only one horse that won that race back to back, and if you know horse racing, that is almost impossible to do, but the only horse that I had the privilege to see do that was Tiz Now 2000 and 2001, the only other horse that came close to do that was my favorite horse Cigar, but he was a great horse!! he only won 16 races in a row, tied the great Citation's record, there is never going to be a horse in this lifetime to do that!!

[@montanamountaingarden476]

Lots of horses have won Breeders’ Cup races back to back. The Breeders’ Cup isn’t just one race, it’s a two day series of races

[@BeccasaurousRex270]

Goldikova won her division (Breeders Cup Mile) 4 times. That’s an amazing feat and all 4 times she did it having to cross the pond

[@ruthmix3114]

Horse went in with a ton of expectations...jockey...trainer...and horse. He didn't fire like in the derby. All eyes were apon them...performance jitters. I think that horse ran a good race...but didn't put forth the ability he is capable of. Trainer jockey owners...sit chilly...train for the breeders cup. Let that boy show EVERYONE...he is special.

[@carolinelee4633]

He showed his true colors in my opinion he had a lucky strike but is not champion or triple crown material

[@larrylemon5798]

Fantastic!

[@jeffreyrogerkelly3751]

Very cool thanks for sharing

[@ChrisB-vb9hh]

Anyone that thought Rich Strike would get the job done in the Belmont was delusional!! But I will say that anytime I see him running at Churchill I’ll definitely bet on him!!

[@montanamountaingarden476]

Ah ah, I’ll only bet him if I know he’s running in a race where suicidal fractions are going to be present. Otherwise,e he’ll never win again

[@happyhapley]

The two leaders converged to delay Nest's final rush at the top of the straight, but Mo Donegal would still have won, because Irad Ortiz actually eased down a little before the finish line.

[@rh3473]

Agree. I don’t see how her stumble at the start had anything to do w her finish?

[@vitoscatigno4207]

When you have another Secretariat wake me up!

[@meganproffitt424]

Why are you here?

[@VILJL]

Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike was never a factor in the race. An 80-1 long shot when he won the Run for the Roses, Rich Strike went off at 4-1 in the Belmont Stakes. The colt ran at the tail of the field for most of the race before closing to a sixth-place finish in an eight horses field. He skipped running in The Preakness

[@mooseydeucy]

Good show! Nice race. I knew I liked that name SkippyLongStocking! Something positively Shakespearean or Charles Dickens about it!

[@jimsy7al]

The winning time was 2:28.28 compared to Secretariats 2:24, it speaks for itself, and 49 years later and counting!!!

[@tonykiriakidis5219]

Easy Goer and American Pharoah ran great but 2:26. That’s still 10 lengths back of secretariat!!! I don’t think anyone will touch 2:24

[@200991602]

The four Mo Donegal Nest Skippylongstocking and We The People are way ahead of the rest of the crop Epicenter and Early voting will be great too While I was watching the Belmont I was thinking what if there weren't so many horses in the Kentucky Derby and Mo Donegal had a way to the front I'm not a fan of the 20 horse field nor allowing an unknown in as filler , I was for Mo Donegal Zandon or Epicenter , Rich Strike had an impressive run yet those questions while always be there The Belmont proved what horses have the endurance

[@artsytechlady]

Can't believe how many Negative Nancy's and Ned's ripping on Rich Strike!! (Apparently Rich had diarrhea before the race.) Would like to see Epicenter, Zandon, Early Voting, Mo Donegal, Nest and Rich Strike in one race against each other and see who would win...🤔

[@thepotatofuhrer2991]

Would have liked to see epicenter in this one too...👈😁... Two tough losses in the other two...

[@artsytechlady]

@@thepotatofuhrer2991 , agree. If he won a race against the 6 above, he could lay claim to being the Champion of this class of 3 year olds. I do believe Rich wasn't well in today's race, especially the way he was acting before the gate. Would like all 6 to be at their best healthwise and see who the real Champion 🏆 is.

[@carolinelee4633]

Depends on track length and rest of the horses before the race but I still don’t think Rich Strike would win unless a fast pace was set early on and he stayed farther back in the pack off the pace. Nest is a great filly though and I think she’d actually show out in a match race, so would Secret Oath

[@artsytechlady]

@@carolinelee4633 , agree but not about Rich. I think due to him not being 100% he wasn't able to perform the way he normally would. However, we shall see if the Powers that be set up a race with the above horses altogether. Travers, perhaps? I was also thinking of including Secret Oath.

[@JoeSmith-zx6vs]

Rich Strike earned his place in the history books, You can't take away his derby win, and it was a great one, end of story....👈😎

[@nayrod4529]

Maybe Sonny should have come earlier to get a feel of Belmont. It was over at the gate.

[@laurar7087]

Or perhaps let him have his head much sooner. He held him back too long :(

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

He rode in a couple earlier races.

@@Johnny53kgb-nsa Yes, I heard somebody on the air say that with so many great jocks in the room that nobody would ride Leon as owners want to win right now. Also no agent was going to do do any favors for Eric R. and go against NYRA and Todd P.
