Final leg of the Triple Crown series kicks off
By Ryan Guebert
TV Media
F
ollowing the dramatic result of the
Kentucky Derby and the news that
there would not be a Triple Crown winner
this year, the 151st running of the Belmont
Stakes is set to take place on Saturday,
June 8, at Belmont Park in Elmont, New
York. Tune in for the third and final leg of
the Triple Crown series with live coverage
on NBC.
Despite Maximum Security crossing the
finish line first, stewards disqualified the
horse after a 22-minute review for shifting
positions and impeding another horse,
ultimately making Maximum Security the
first Kentucky Derby winner to be disquali-
fied for an on-track infraction.
4 | Screentime
Second-place finisher Country House
was awarded the victory and became the
second-longest odds Kentucky Derby win-
ner, at 65-1, after Donerail in 1913, who
entered the race at 91-1 odds. Shortly
after the Kentucky Derby, Country House’s
trainer Bill Mott announced that he would
miss the Preakness Stakes due to health
concerns, ultimately ending any chance of
a Triple Crown winner.
The traditions at the Belmont Stakes
are just as noteworthy as the race itself.
Over its 152-year history, the race has
been nicknamed “The Test of the Cham-
pion” and “The Run for the Carnations.”
This is in reference to the race’s 1.5-mile
length (the longest of the three Triple
Crown races), as well as the winning
horse being draped with a blanket of
May 29, 2019 | East Oregonian and Hermiston Herald
white carnations after the race. A record-
ing of Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New
York” is played during the post parade
while the crowd applauds the horses
and indulges in the race’s official drink,
known as the “Belmont Jewel.” The win-
ner of the Belmont Stakes is ceremoni-
ally presented with the August Belmont
Trophy, which was designed by Paulding
Farnham for Tiffany & Co. in 1896.
Unlike last year’s hype surrounding
Justify and Mike E. Smith, there won’t be a
Triple Crown hopeful in this year’s Belmont
Stakes, but there is still plenty to watch out
for leading up to the race. Tune in Saturday,
June 8, to see who crosses the finish line
first in the final leg of the Triple Crown
series. Catch the race and the traditions at
Belmont Park with live coverage on NBC.
