Tapwrit Wins the Belmont in a Field More Barren Than Most

Tapwrit won the Belmont Stakes. It was the first Triple Crown race victory for jockey Jose Ortiz. Todd Pletcher is the undisputed king of racing in New York. He won his third Bel Mont Stake with Rags to Riches and Palace Malice. P Fletcher also trained the Derby champion Always Dreaming. He had doubts about his horse after the race. But he decided to run Tapwrit. The colt won. His trainer hopes it will be immortalized in the history books. "It's nice to have the third leg of the Triple Triple in history. You can't always have it immortalize in sport’s history."
