If Mine That Bird Wins the Belmont . . .

[Holland Hacker]

Will this be the first triple crown in which none of the races was won by a Colt, an intact one any way?

Was just wondering.

i can't remember the last time a gelding won the belmont. it may well be the first time tho-the belmont didn't even allow geldings to be entered for years.
