Tokio comes out running well on the lead
Texas away running in second position
spin off is just off of them and or of
will will find himself fourth early on
and tucking in right behind him Aztec
siddhis news fifth and trusting in
behind war of will into that first turn
and that it's ever fast intrepid heart
Sir Winston on the inside funneled by
Bourbon War and lacks to the Hall is
master fencer through a 23.92 opening
quarter mile to make their way around
this first turn here at Belmont Park
where Joe via the expected pacemaker is
doing just that
he's on top by three quarters in length
racing in second his tax spin-off Javier
Castellano sitting off the pace here
they're three lengths behind Tyler
Gaffney own settling back war of will
under straight here fourth on the
outside after a half mile in an easy 48
point seven nine seconds the pace has
not been fast and that it's intrepid
heart racing on the outside of
ever-faster xin mid-pack say ortiz and
Tacitus are three deep up the
backstretch and they're five lengths
from front running Joe via that a brink
of another two and a half to Sir Winston
and that it's bourbon war and master
fencer is last and he's 11 links behind
splut the backstretch they go 3/4 up in
113 point 5 4 seconds less than six
furlongs remain in this Belmont Stakes
and it's been Joe via all the way so far
Tex continues to pursue him as they race
for the far turn and then it's spin off
on the outside at the rail ever fast or
of will outside of horses get to be
given his cue he's four lights behind
with a half mile to go
meanwhile Jose Ortiz is starting to ask
more from Tacitus and Sir Winston is
slipped to an opening on the inside as
they make their way around the far turn
still Joe via still tacks and on their
outside and spin off and war of will is
looming now and so too is Tacitus is
very wide and sir winston is right in
contention behind horses as they make
their way to the top of the stretch and
they're into the stretch and it is Joe
via and Tex Sir Winston comes up on the
outside and he got in front of lure of
will and Sir Winston has moved to the
center of the track under John rosario
to take the lead on the inside Joe via
fights on testiness is there and then
tents between horses mr. Fetzer in the
far outside they're coming to the finish
Winston has won the Belmont Stakes now
that once tensed a second brother but
it's a photo for fourth the final time
was two minutes twenty eight point three
zero seconds just the third win in ten
starts for Sir Winston
so mark Cassie trains the Preakness
winner and the Belmont winner when it's
two different horses as Sir Winston
attend to one shot comes through with
the victory here in the Belmont Stakes
Sir Winston mid to late back early made
a bold move round the turn up the inside
great move by jockey Joe El Rosario
looking for a place to go as he turned
from home i'li in there and then angling
out in the stretch kind of pinched war
of wills he got taken a little bit as he
were wielded as Sir Winston moved out
for racing room I don't know how bad it
was but it was a little bit of a steady
by Tyler Gaffney on a whirl will but a
tremendous race by Sir Winston coming
off the pace today at the Bell and the
difference in the race turns out to be
ground saved as opposed to ground lost
as it often is Tacitus three wide on the
first turn four to five wide on the
second turn now let's take a look and
see exactly what transpired here at the
top of the language service
it's kind of shaded but you can see the
peak Tampa passages well sir Woodson has
a white cap on it's already happened he
would have shifted out in front of the
horse with the white stripe down his
face and that would have been war of
will pretty hard to see in that shot
back and look at test as Tacitus war
will bump briefly and then Tacitus came
on and closed strong good point made by
randy
he was very wide around the second turn
you can see a little bumping there could
be incidental but I agree it was it's
hard to be that wide and still maintain
your momentum while a horse is getting
through on the inside yes a grinder he
still keeps going but he didn't have the
turn the foot did Sir Winston did late
the race at the very top of the stretch
in order to shift out and find racing
room Sir Winston did move out in front
of war of will but quite frankly I don't
think that's enough to warrant an
inquiry or an objection
