■ — . . ■ ■ . . J Belmont Stakes History From Ruthless to High Gun Compiled by DAILY RACING FORM. Reproduction of Tabulation Is Prohibited Without Permission of DAILY RACING FORM. The eighty-seventh running of the Belmont Stakes, which antedates both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, and which with the latter two fixtures, comprises Americas "Triple Crown," will be staged at the Westchester course -this afternoon. Seven horses have won the Belmont after previously having captured the other 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 failed 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 only thing that prevented 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 the 1931 Derby and went on to score in the Belmont after having gone down to defeat by Mate in the Preakness. Johnstown, an easy Derby winner, was beaten in the Preakness, but came back to win the Belmont. Bimelech took down honors in the 1940 Preakness and Belmont after previously disappointing in the Derby. In 1942 Shut Out 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 Hill 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 fastest time for the mile and a half distance of the stake, the route that now prevails, when he was timed in 2:2andy5 in 1948. J. McLaughlin rode six Belmont winners, while the 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, while Jimmy Rowes record of saddling eleven winners in the stake is apt to stand for some time. The following tabulation shows the winner of each running, male line, color, sex and weight of the winner, second and thirid horses, odds, of the winner; time and track condition; net value to the ,winner; number of starters; sire, jockey, owner, trainer and breeder: Year Winner.
