Kalarikkal and Vilasini Devi Jayaramans 11-1 longshot Summer Bird before a crowd of 52861 at Belmont Park. Summer Bird paid $25.80 to win. I left the house this morning with a will to win this race, because it means beauty, class and elegance, Desormeaux said after Summer Bird brought him through the middle of the lane for a 2 ¾-length victory over Dunkirk in the 141st running of the 1½-mile Test of the Champion the longest and oldest leg of racings Triple Crown for three-year-olds. Mine That Bird, the 50-1 Kentucky Derby winner, Preakness runner-up and Belmont Stakes post-time favorite, was third, followed by Charitable Man, Luv Gov, Flying Private, Brave Victory, Mr. Hot Stuff, Chocolate Candy and Miners Escape.
