The Belmont Stakes, first run in 1967, is the oldest of the
Triple Crown events. It predates the Preakness by six years
and the Kentucky Derby by eight.
The last Kentucky Derby winner to win the Belmont was
Thunder Gulch in 1995.
The last Preakness winner to win the Belmont was Afleet
Alex in 2005.
The 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011 Belmont winners all were
making their debuts in the Triple Crown series.
6 of the last 7 Belmont winners prepped most recently at
Churchill Downs or Pimlico, but not necessarily in the
Kentucky Derby and/or Preakness.
Three fillies have won the Belmont: Rags to Riches (2007),
Tanya (1905) and Ruthless (1867).
The length of the stretch run for the Belmont Stakes is just
1,097 feet, the shortest of the three Triple Crown races – a
fact many fans misinterpret given the 1-1/2 mile
circumference of the expansive Belmont oval.
The largest Belmont crowd when a Triple Crown was not on
the line at the time of entries was 73,857 in 2001 to see Point
Given dominate – among those in attendance the former
President and First Lady, Bill and Hillary Clinton.
