Tomorrow, Victor Espinoza will be the only jockey in American racing history to ride in three editions of the Belmont Stakes with the Triple Crown on the line. Only two others have done so twice. Who were they, who were their mounts and what were the results?

Great work, TJ, except that Northern Dancer was third in the Belmont.

Hi Avalyn,
It's so seldom can I find the answer to your tough questions...I can't believe I went and messed this one up:>) I remember Hartack said he thought a mile and a half is too far for his little horse....but that didn't stop little Roman Brother from finishing 2nd in front of him. That was a field of well know horses from days gone by. Thanks for all the work you do here. TJ
