Dornoch hugged the rail ridden by Luis Saez and held off Mindframe to be the best in a field of 10 that included Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan and Preakness winner Seize the Grey.
creativeContentWhen Luis Saez first rode Dornoch at Saratoga Race Course last summer, he told trainer Danny Gargan, "You have the Derby winner."
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. It's the first win in any Triple Crown for Gargan and the second in the Belmont for Saez, who said he never lost faith in Dornoch.
