Hello and welcome to the running of the Belmont Stakes here at The Wire. The horses are looking fresher than ever and the dirt is simply perfect for this race. We have four starters for this race and they all look a picture in the paddock.

Here are the starters for this 12 furlong contest.

Gate One: Sweet Inferno jockeyed by Valencia Andrews
Gate Two: Nightshade
Gate Three: Red Herring jockeyed by Brookson Wells
Gate Four: Born To Impress

Don't they all look a picture in the paddock?

*minutes pass and the horses are loaded into the gates*

They're all set...
and they're off and racing!

Sweet Inferno breaks quickly and sharply to run straight to the lead in this race and she is setting the pace - Red Herring settles in behind her with Born To Impress behind and Nightshade broke very slow and she is five lengths behind Born To Impress. The quarter has gone in a very slow 24 seconds flat - a very slow pace here in the Belmont but Sweet Inferno is taking that lead, Red Herring coming to her outside and she quickens up a little bit. Born To Impress is lingering in behind them and far far far back is Nightshade who is being niggled on now in the Belmont. It doesn't look to be her day today. They're half way through the race now and they go three quarters in a very slow 1 minute and 12 seconds flat - a very slow pace set here by Sweet Inferno. As they round the far turn with half a mile to go, Nightshade is being driven along at the back and is making no progress at all, her jockey is all out and so is she - Sweet Inferno still has that lead and she is extending it now - they come into the stretch and Sweet Inferno is two lengths infront of Red Herring and Born To Impress has come beside him and has now overtaken Red Herring and he's chasing after the filly here - they come into the final furlong and Sweet Inferno still has the lead but Born To Impress is running right at her! As they come to the wire, it's going to be very close... Sweet Inferno and Born To Impress are neck and neck... and it's gonna be.... A FILLY IN THE BELMONT! Sweet Inferno has beaten Kentucky Derby winner Born To Impress to win, in a head bobbing, PULSATING finish to the Belmont Stakes! Red Herring is a length behind in third, and Nightshade is pulled up and trots over the line in fourth.

WIN Sweet Inferno (nose)
PLACE Born To Impress (length)
SHOW Red Herring
Fourth Nightshade

Any of the top three could've taken it. It's just how I felt on the day - I felt this filly deserved her big break, Frosty has worked very hard with her - second and third were impossible to separate - but Born To Impress stood out more to me on the day. Nightshade had no workout, her page wasn't updated from the Derby, she hadn't been worked since January and this had a huge impact on her.

Congrats Frosty :)

Holy crappadoodledoo, is this real? XD Thank you so much Megs! I was entirely NOT expecting this from Sweetie. A big break? Huge, more like! Wow!

[Ripley]

Congratulations :)
