Besides getting bumped 4 times, Sierra Leone had no excuse, much the best horse! I think changing the jockey had consequences, I also think he wins it if it 1 1/2 miles..

My favorite moment is when Mindframe and Dornoch hook up at the top of the stretch and we see Dornoch fight off the challenge and hold onto the lead after fast early fractions. That takes the heart of a champion.

[@lizpound2278]

If you know horses and bits Dornoch has a ring bit, blinkers and his ears pinned back - that is a very fit, strong horse to ride and when the jock just shows the whip - if you haven't done don't try.

I Agree.

[@suzanneyoung8011]

Exactly! Fox should not have let their own sports crew host the broadcast. They did a terrible job, and should have gone with the entire crew from America's Day at The Races. I switched over to Fox Sports for a while, and Lafitte Pincay Jr was hosting over there. They should have used him for the entire broadcast on both channels. I don't know why they went with a different crew over there. That was double the time and effort. And if the guy was there on Fox because of a diversity hire so it's not three white guys at the desk, then Lafitte would have fit that bill since he is Hispanic. Just sayin . . .

[@TheOrdonje]

It’s a good thing there was no chance of a triple crown winner this year. It would have been always with an asterisk. The 1 1/2 mile Belmont was the ultimate test..1 1/4 doesn’t do it. There’s been more than one horse that lost the triple crown in that last 1/4 mile.

Why a asterisk? If a horse would had this year it would have in the advertised distances. It's not that horse's fault they changed the rules and besides we are talking a 1/4 mile! Personally I think they should have started them on the back stretch and kept a 1 1/2 but o well! We no their is no imagination anymore! Also should there be a asterisk on every baseball game now played because they have a pitch clock? Rules can fluctuate!

[@happyhapley]

Really disappointed that a prestigious track like Saratoga couldn't accommodate the Belmont Stakes at 12 furlongs. Took away a lot for me, because it seems like Sierra Leone and Mindframe would've had a battle royal to the finish, with 2 furlongs more to travel.

[@wendyw4487]

Mindframe was held back intentionally

[@montanamountaingarden476]

Well, do you want them to start the race in the middle of the far turn? Bc that's where it would have to be started if they were to run it at the 12 furlong distance

[@happyhapley]

@@montanamountaingarden476 I thought they would've done something like that, but I''m sure they have a good reason for not doing so. I'm biased, with a preference for horses that are stayers/closers. The Belmont is their race.

[@chonch65]

@@happyhapley Actually, closers rarely win the Belmont. Longer races don't necessarily favor the closers. Pace makes the race, regardless of the distance.

[@happyhapley]

@@chonch65 There are front runners as well as closers in every race, no matter the distance. Horses entered in the Belmont Stakes are almost always stayers (prefer 8 furlongs or longer). Closers thrive best when there is competition on the lead. Front runners thrive best when alone on the lead. Notice that I didn't say you were wrong, because, like you said, it mainly depends on the pace of the race.

I think leaving Tyler on Sierra Leone would have been the difference in this race. Chad Brown made a mistake by switching him for Pratt. Sierra Leone lugs in, badly, and that's on Brown and his staff to deal with it. The jockey should not have been pulled off the horse for something beyond his control.

Dornoch, with 17-1 odds, won the 156th running of the Belmont Stakes on Saturday, beating a handful of contenders widely believed to have a greater chance of winning. “It was perfect,” jockey Luis Saez (age 32, born in Panama) said of Dornoch's run to fend off Mindframe (7-2 odds). Trainer Danny Gargan got his first victory in a Triple Crown race. This year's Belmont Stakes was raced at Saratoga and run at 1.25 miles instead of the traditional 1.5 miles because of renovations at Belmont Racetrack. That should be notable for handicapping since typically for the Belmont it's important to look at horses that can go the distance.

Sierra Leone....they need to take him to very good veterinarian clinic and get totally checked out...horses run that way when something is hurting them...he has a lot of heart to run as well as he does

[@mattgaebel7341]

More like a psychoanalysis for the jockeys who don't know how to ride this gift. He does drift just like exaggerator did & is eager to win but these jockeys don't know how to control his genetic blessing of closing speed when he's around other horses.

[@Makado14]

I agree

[@TracyGonzalez-ik5tv]

This is rigged like every other sport. This was the script

[@cosmicbro1973]

He was sabotaged by Protective who was waiting for him on the outside, pushed him so far out for no reason at all, clear penalty imo

[@suzanneyoung8011]

​@@TracyGonzalez-ik5tvno, it's not! Ridiculous comment. That is this particular horse's style of running. He circles the field coming from way behind, and then when gets past most of the other horses who were in his way he lugs in towards the rail in the stretch.

Jayson Werth has gone from champion on the diamond to champion on the racetrack. The 15-year big leaguer retired in 2018 The racehorse that Werth co-owns, Dornoch, won the Belmont Stakes, the final leg of horse racing’s Triple Crown, on Saturday at Saratoga Race Course. Dornoch put Werth into the winner’s circle 16 years after he was a part of the Phillies’ 2008 World Series title team. The race was moved to Saratoga Springs, N.Y., this year because Belmont Park is undergoing a renovation project. Dornoch finished 10th in the Derby

I thought that Sierra Leone gave away at least 6 to 8 lengths with being kept out the back and very very wide turn in.

[@elsplace896]

You can count on Dornoch! Great job by Luis Saez

[@FreedomFighter2112]

Fox always screws things up🤣

[@Patty.29675]

BEAUTIFUL race. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@leesteiden]

Did he say “a filly in the Belmont” ??

[@VanessaBrown-fb6ue]

Yes😂😂

[@pinballanon8531]

why no inquiry on protective riding into sierra leone?

[@chrisp.9172]

That's what I'm sayin'

[@antonioayalaperez3653]

Grande mi causa saez saludos desde peru

[@GBeret83]

Calling a win at 10F on the dirt at Saratoga a win in the Belmont Stakes is like calling a win at 8F on the dirt at Keeneland a win in the Kentucky Derby. In theory, it's the exact same thing!

[@ericsupermagnificent]

NBC coverage is so much better to watch

[@RogelioEspinosa-g9c]

A este jockey panameño le sobra Humildad decían q sierra leone por el cambio de monta q el de ortiz en fin se impuso la silla panameña q es elegante I fría como lo demostró nuestro compatriota

[@mortonerskine-m4u]

A bum ride by Prat,even a bigger bum decision by Brown to take TG off.

[@PetalPusher-ci4jx]

From experience, it's bad luck to switch riders.

[@floycewhite6991]

Not really Belmont, fair enough race for what it was.

[@Makado14]

Totally agree

[@jagdishmaddineni5405]

Great lady DORNCH beating the gentlemen in BELMONT

[@bkrz]

Sierra Leone always waiting for the last second to make a move

[@alyson6506]

Congrats to Dornach, but I think Mindframe may have won if he hadn't swung wide down the stretch, and also if the race had been the full mile and a half. Both good horses, maybe we'll see a rematch in the Breeder's Cup🌝

[@zipchtkdn7804]

McPeak knew better to race the freaking horse. Pressure from the owners.

[@wendyw4487]

that was a fixed race if I ever saw one!!!!!

[@Caroni100]

¡Que caballo tan mañoso es Sierra Leone...! 😲 Partió mal, golpeó al número 8 y en la recta final repartió golpes y cruces de línea a diestra y siniestra...! 🙄 Mi favorito Seize the Grey no pudo ¡Otro día será, Wayne...! Saludos desde Venezuela 🇻🇪

[@glenngrinter6818]

Graveyard of Champions & Favorites again.🐎🙃🐎🙃🐎🙃🐎🙃🐎🙃🐎🙃🐎🙃🐎🙃🐎🙃🐎🙃

[@mattgaebel7341]

Graveyard of champions because jockeys are either paid off or they lose their common sense skill of horse riding. No graveyard of champions for arrogate when he kicked a** in the traver's for a race track record of 1:59:36. 🙏👍

[@VanessaBrown-fb6ue]

❤❤exactly

[@BimoPramono-t1u]

Filly???

[@tintins4021]

That looked tough
