Mo Donegal takes 1st at Belmont Stakes

Summarized by: Live Sports Direct
 

Mo Donegal wins the Belmont Stakes. Todd Pletcher's horses finished 1-2. It's the fourth straight year the Triple Crown races were won by three different horses. Rich Strike finished sixth.  Rich Striker owner Rick Dawson and trainer Eric Reed held the Kentucky Derby winner out of the Preakness with an eye on Bel Mont. They encouraged jockey Sonny Leon to push Rich Striking from the outside. He kept trying to get back inside. The horse made a late charge past 19 horses to win at Churchill Downs. Mo Donegal was at the back of a pack at Derby.
