Sometimes the bettors have it right. The morning linemaker liked We the People. The dreamers liked Rich Strike, the longshot winner of the Kentucky Derby. The sentimentalists looked toward the only filly in the race, Nest.
But in the end, the winner of the 154th Belmont Stakes was Mo Donegal, the 5-2 favorite.
The Todd Pletcher-trained 3-year-old colt picked up his fourth win in a seven-race career, this time in the Belmont Stakes with jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. Pletcher also picked up second with Nest.
