Arcangelo showed an abundance of command presence throughout the race that masked his extreme outlier status.
Arcangelo wins the Belmont Stakes
To say that the colt is lightly raced is an understatement — he just broke his maiden in March. His May 13 performance in the Peter Pan put him on the map, and in this race, but none of that presaged today's skillful, cool, courageous performance. The narrative there is the classic one of equine athletes developing at different times in their lives — they just need the patience from their human handlers to do it.
Industry leaders insist the sport is safer than ever; horse fatalities have fallen more than 37% since officials began tracking them in 2009, reported The Associated Press.
Up and down of the stakes
Bounce Baffert's Irreplaceable asset was the pacesetter in the early going, and behind him, at the quarter mile, were Hit Show and Tapit Shoes. Inauspiciously for those three, be that as it may, Arcangelo and Strong point were laying right behind them, unequivocally reflecting their request for finish a mile-and-a-quarter not too far off. Into the far turn, Irreplaceable asset appeared to be hanging tight, however Javier Castellano handily directed Arcangelo through a little opening of-the-needle up inside an obviously blurring Irreplaceable asset and the pair motored on by as they turned for home. Irreplaceable asset, the Preakness champ, completed a dreary 6th.
