...Belmont Stakes will be run on June 7th, 15 miles from New York City at Elmont, Long Island. Will Majestic Prince become the ninth winner of the Triple Crown Trophy, joining Sir Barton (1919), Gallant Fox (1930), Omaha (1935), War Admiral (1937), Whirlaway (1941), Count Fleet (1943), Assault (1946), and Citation (1948)?

Calumet, which bred two Triple Crown winners, Whirlaway and Citation, won the Kentucky Derby seven times,* more than any other stable in history, and swept the money-winning championship twelve times in 21 years, has not even entered a horse in the Derby since 1958.
