The 156th running of the Belmont Stakes ended in upset fashion.
The 156th running of the Belmont Stakes ended in upset fashion Saturday at Saratoga Race Course, with underdog Dornoch besting the field to claim the victory.
Taking off from the sixth post position, Dornoch was neck-and-neck with Preakness Stakers winner Seize the Grey for most of the race. The horse, jockeyed by Luis Saez, broke free on the final turn and beat out Mindframe and Sierra Leone for the win.Dornoch is owned in part by former MLB All-Star Jayson Werth, who played 1,583 games for four teams from 2002 to '17. Werth won the 2008 World Series with the Philadelphia Phillies. He is now a Belmont Stakes winner.
"I would put it right up there with winning on the biggest stage," Werth said on the FOX broadcast. "Horse racing is the most underrated sport in the world, bar none. ... This is as good as it gets in horse racing; this is as good as it gets in sports." "Horse racing is the most underrated sport in the world, bar none...
