Dornoch emerges in front down the front stretch and finishes ahead of Mindframe and Sierra Leone to win the 2024 Belmont Stakes.
Dornoch won the 156th running of the Belmont Stakes at Saratoga Race Course, holding off a late challenge from Mindframe down the final stretch. Dornoch, which entered the race at 17-1 odds, gave trainer Danny Gargan his first win in the Belmont Stakes. Sierra Leone finished third and Honor Marie fourth.
“That was absolutely amazing,” said Jimmy Barnes, Baffert’s top assistant. “National Treasure was going super good going into this race and training very well. We just needed to get him out of the gate and point him in the right direction. He was getting heavy pressure early but it was no match for him. He put him away.” The pressure was coming from Hoist to Gold, who finished third. White Abarrio, winner of the Breeders’ Cup Classic, was never a factor, finishing fifth in the six-horse race.
