Dornoch won the 156th running of the Belmont Stakes on Saturday; Mindframe finished second, with Sierra Leone coming in third.
Dornoch pulled off a major upset to take the first Belmont Stakes at Saratoga, hugging the rail and holding off Mindframe to win the Triple Crown finale at 17-1 odds. The horse co-owned by World Series champion Jayson Werth won the Belmont five weeks after a troubled trip led to a 10th-place finish in the Kentucky Derby. This time, Dornoch sat off leader Seize the Grey, passed the Preakness winner down the stretch and held on.
'When I rode this horse here in Saratoga for the first time , I told Danny, ‘You have the Derby winner,'' Saez said. 'Unfortunately, the Derby's a crazy race and we draw that No. 1 hole. Today, we have pretty good confidence that we could win this race.' Despite there not being a Triple Crown on the line, it's a historic Belmont because the race was run at Saratoga for the first time in the venue's 161-year history.
