The Belmont Stakes

A record non-Triple Crown crowd of 73,857 turned out at Belmont Park for this year's 133rd running of The Belmont Stakes. An anticipated rubber match between Kentucky Derby winner Monarchos and Preakness winner Point Given highlighted a spectacular weekend of Graded Stakes Races. The field for the Belmont Stakes also included    A P Valentine, Dollar Bill and European invader Dr. Greenfield

   Preakness Winner     Point Given

The expected stretch duel never materialized as Point Given left the field in his wake at the top of the stretch and went on to win by 12 widening lengths. It was a performance that will long be remembered by those in attendance. With all the top contenders heading to Saratoga there should be a great renewal of the Travers Stakes this year
