Welcome to the 149th edition of the Belmont Stakes! We’re into the stretch of the race, and it looks like there’s a duel for the lead between two very dominant horses.
The favorite Irish War Cry is far in the lead, seemingly leaving the other horses and jockeys in the dust. But then…Tapwrit jumps ahead right when it matters, and as the race draws to a close, the favorite falls. Tapwrit wins! Jose Ortiz and his horse Tapwrit have etched their names into Belmont Stakes history!
Patch the one-eyed horse finishes the race at the third place. Patch is the first horse in Belmont Stakes history to participate in a race with only one eye.
