Belmont Stakes History From Ruthless to Native Dancer Compiled by DAILY RACING FORM. Reproduction of Tabulation Is Prohibited Without Permission of DAILY RACING FORM. The eighty-sixth running of the Belmont Stakes, which antedates both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, and which with the latter two- totures, comprises Americas "Triple Crown," will be staged at the Westchester course this afternoon. Seven horses have won the Belmont after previously having captured the otner two fixtures, namely, Sir Barton, Gallant Fox. Omaha, War Admiral. Whirlaway. Count Fleet. Assault and Citation. In addition many horses have won this coveted stake, but rauea in either of the other two gems of the "Triple Crown." In recent years. Man o War accounted for both the Belmont and Preakness, and perhaps the onlytning that preventea his winning the Derby was that he didnt run in it. Pillory won both the Belmont and Preakness, while Zev was successful in the Derby and Belmont. Twenty Grand won tne down defeat Mate in the Preakness. Johnstown, an easy, Derby winner, was beaten to the PreaKr 1931 Derby and went on to score in the Belmont after having gone to by ness, but came back to win the Belmont. Bimelech took down honors in the 1940 Preakness and Belmont after previously disappointing m the Derby. In 1942 snut uut triumphed in the "Run for the Roses," went unplaced in the Preakness. then came back to capture the Belmont. Middleground won the Derby in 1950, finished second to aiu Prince in the Preakness, and then came back to win the Belmont. One Counts score in 1952 was the richest for the race, netting a purse of 2,400. Citation turned in the rast-est time for the mile and a half distance of the stake, the route that now prevails, when he was timed in 2:2815 in 1948. J. McLaughlin rode six Belmont winners, while tne peerless Earl Sande scored with five of his mounts, in the race. Belair Stud, James R. Keene and the Dwyer Brothers sent out five winners each in the fixture, wrule Jimmy Ro we s record of saddling eleven winners in the stake is apt to stand for some time.
