Arcangelo Surprises In 155th Belmont Stakes

Belmont Stakes: Arcangelo Wins, Making History

Arcangelo Surprises in 155th Belmont Stakes

In a stunning upset, Arcangelo, a 7-1 longshot, emerged victorious in the 155th running of the Belmont Stakes on Saturday, June 10, 2023, at Belmont Park. The victory marks a historic achievement, as Arcangelo became the first horse since 1973 to win the Belmont Stakes without winning either the Kentucky Derby or the Preakness Stakes.

A Thrilling Finish

The race was a thrilling affair, with Arcangelo making a late surge to pass Preakness Stakes winner National in the final stretch. Arcangelo's jockey, Joel Rosario, expertly guided the horse to victory, holding off a determined challenge from rival trainer Todd Pletcher's entry, Nest. National finished second, followed by Nest in third.

Payouts

Arcangelo's victory paid out handsomely for bettors, with the horse returning $16.80 on a $2 win bet. National paid $6.40 for place and $4.80 for show, while Nest paid $4.20 for show. The exacta (Arcangelo and National) paid $110.40, and the trifecta (Arcangelo, National, and Nest) paid $306.60.

A Historic Victory

Arcangelo's Belmont Stakes victory is a historic one, breaking a nearly 50-year dry spell for horses that did not win the Kentucky Derby or Preakness Stakes. The victory also marks a significant achievement for trainer Danny Gargan, who saddled his first Belmont Stakes winner.

As the dust settles on the 155th Belmont Stakes, Arcangelo's victory will be remembered as a testament to the unpredictability and excitement of horse racing. The horse's stunning upset has left an unforgettable mark on the history of the Triple Crown.
