WEB Dornoch Pulls Off Upset in First Belmont Stakes at Saratoga Race Course
Mo Donegal Wins, Ending Rich Strike's Magical Story
WEB Dornoch, a 17-1 longshot, upset the field to win the 2024 Belmont Stakes at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York, on Saturday evening. The race was held in Saratoga Springs for the first time, 200 miles north of its traditional home in Elmont, New York.
WEB Dornoch held off Mindframe and favorite Sierra Leone to secure the victory. The win marked an upset, as WEB Dornoch was not considered a top contender going into the race.
In the main event, Mo Donegal, the post-time favorite, won by three lengths. This victory ended Rich Strike's magical storybook run, as the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner finished sixth in the Belmont Stakes.
