Dornoch emerged victorious in the 156th running of the Belmont Stakes on Saturday, showcasing an impressive performance on the track. The race saw Preakness winner Seize the Grey leading at the ¾-mile mark, closely followed by Dornoch. As they approached the final turn, Mindframe made a late surge from the outside, but it was Dornoch who ultimately crossed the finish line first, defying the odds with a closing at 17-1.
Sierra Leone, the favorite for both Saturday's race and the Derby, settled for third place in a highly competitive field. This year marked the sixth consecutive year in which three different horses claimed victories in the Triple Crown races, with the last multiple-leg winner being Justify in 2018.
