Belmont Stakes 2024: Results and payouts as Dornoch wins Test of Champions at Saratoga
Dornoch has won the 156th running of the Belmont Stakes on Saturday afternoon.
After going stride for stride with Seize The Grey out of the gate, Dornoch (17-1) dispatched the Preakness winner and found himself in tight battle down the stretch with Mindframe. Jockey Luis Saez was able to successfully hold off the challenge en route to his second Belmont victory in 2:01.64 on a fast track.
Typically held in Elmont, New York on Long Island, the race was moved upstate to historic Saratoga Race Course as Belmont Park undergoes renovations. That also led to a change in distance as the length was shortened to 1 1/4 miles to the finish line.
While the final leg of the Triple Crown didn’t have any horse contending for horse racing’s highest honor, the latest iteration of the Test of Champions had no shortage of drama heading in.
Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan getting a rematch against Preakness Seize The Grey was the headline, but neither were the favorite heading into the gates. That title belonged to Sierra Leone (8-5), while fellow contenders Honor Marie and Dornoch, himself a Kentucky Derby contender, garnered plenty of attention themselves.
Incredible!
