It does not lose in interest by this occurrence and appears to be an open race, which might be won by any of the live announced starters. Hie Belmont is one of the longest -established American races and will be run for the forty third time today. The list of placed horses is virtually one of all of the great racers of the past forty years and Its record is as follows: Year. First. Jockeys. Wt. Second. Wt. Third. Wt. Val.
