2021 Belmont Stakes Trivia Challenge

6/4/2021

3 Comments

 
In honor of the "Test of the Champion," this week's trivia challenge consists of five questions related to the Belmont Stakes. Can you answer them all before post time for the Belmont?

1) What Belmont Stakes winner was the most recent to be campaigned by a member of the Belmont family?

2) What Belmont Stakes winner is named for a tourist destination known as the "Pink City?"

3) Only one Belmont Stakes in history has had an all-gray trifecta. Name the year and the top three finishers, in order.

4) Gallant Fox is famous as the only American Triple Crown winner to have sired an American Triple Crown winner, and only one other Belmont Stakes winner (Man o' War) has sired an American Triple Crown winner (War Admiral, 1937). One Belmont Stakes winner currently at stud has a Triple Crown winner to his credit, but not in the United States. Who is the Belmont winner/Triple Crown sire, and in what country did his Triple Crown winner complete the sweep?

5) Name a former United States President who has made a trophy presentation for the Belmont Stakes, and give the year in which he did so.

Looks like you two have it covered, though it's Barbara who gets credit for #4. (Affirmed did indeed sire Peteski, but he isn't a currently active sire as specified by the question.)
