Belmont runs today
NEW YORK-Secretariat won the 1973 Belmont Stakes by an
incredible margin of 31 lengths. But often the gruelling 1% miles
of the final race of the Triple Crown is barely enough distance
to determine a winner.
The margin of victory in 10 of the last 25 Belmonts was one
length or less.
Eleven 3-year-olds were entered for today's 106th running of
the $125,000 Belmont. Among those scheduled to go to the post at
5:40 p.m., EDT, were Kentucky Derby winner Cannonade and
Preakness winner Little Current.
The narrowest victory margin in the 10 closest Belmonts
in the last quarter-century was the nose triumph by Jaipur in
1962.
