Dornoch Triumphs in Belmont Stakes at Saratoga

The 17-1 long shot secures victory in a thrilling race, marking the second Belmont win for jockey Luis Saez and first for trainer Danny Gargan.

  • Dornoch held off late challenges from Mindframe and Sierra Leone to win the 156th Belmont Stakes.
  • The race was relocated to Saratoga due to renovations at Belmont Park, shortening the distance to 1 1/4 miles.
  • Jockey Luis Saez strategically positioned Dornoch at the front early, maintaining the lead through the final stretch.
  • Mindframe showed promise but veered off course, finishing second in just his third career race.
  • Sierra Leone, the favorite, finished third after a strong but ultimately insufficient push.
