2010 Belmont Stakes (G1) - Drosselmeyer [05:13]
Drosselmeyer grabbed the lead in the middle of the stretch and went onto a three-quarter-length victory over a fast-closing Fly Down on Saturday afternoon at Belmont Park to take the 142nd running of the Grade 1, $1 million Belmont Stakes in a 13-1 upset. The win gave Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott and Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith their first victories in the 1½-mile "Test of the Champion," while owner WinStar Farm now owns two Triple Crown wins this year, having taken the Kentucky Derby in May with Super Saver. The victory gave Mott, best-known for campaigning two-time Horse of the Year Cigar, his first win in a Triple Crown race. "Miracles never cease to happen," said a jubilant Mott, who had sent out just four previous Belmont starters, the last of which was second-place Vision and Verse in 1999. "It feels great, just great. It was a pretty good feeling watching him come down the stretch. I thought going wide was going to cost him, but he kind of found another gear." Smith, aboard Drosselmeyer for the first time after replacing Kent Desormeaux on the son of Distorted Humor, ended an 0-for-12 streak in the Belmont that began with a second-place finish aboard the Nick Zito-trained Thirty Six Red in the 1990 Belmont.

Schooling Jumpers Raw Clips 5.23.2010 [04:21]
So this was my first time showing in jumpers and it was so much fun and JJ was amazing, He was fast but totally controlled and he just flew and there were a couple times when I made stupid judgements of the jumps and he still took them. He loved it I could just tell. We would have done really well, placing atleast in the top 3, if I wasn't such an idiot. The first course, I forgot my last fence. The second one, I missed the finish line because for the first course it had just been a single cone you had to go by but for this one it was two, and the last course I had like a brainfart after the fourth jump. You can't hear me but I was literally yelling "WHERE AM I GOING!?" because I couldn't remember. It was the last class of the day for me though and I'd been showing for like 3-4 hours so it's fine. I had fun and JJ was amazing and that's all that counts.

1991 Prince Of Wales Stakes - Dance Smartly [01:08]
Dance Smartly was destined to become "Royalty in Racing" from the time she was foaled. The bay daughter of Danzig, thus a granddaughter of Northern Dancer, out of champion Classy 'n Smart, was born with a star-like marking on her forehead. When she retired she was the leading money-winning ($3.2 million) filly or mare in the world; the first filly to win Canada's Triple Crown; first Canadian-bred to win a Breeders' Cup race and as a broodmare produced Queen's Plate champions Scatter The Gold and Dancethruthedawn. Dance Smartly's class began to emerge at two when she won three of five races, including the Natalma Stakes, placing second in the Ontario Debutante Stakes and third in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Belmont Park. The best was yet to come. In 1991, Dance Smartly's momentum began with victories in the Star Shoot and Selene Stakes. She showed she was Canada's best 3-year-old filly by easily winning the Canadian Oaks. Then she took the measure of the boys, romping to victory in the Queen's Plate at Woodbine and the Prince of Wales at Fort Erie. Then, with a $1 million dollar bonus on the line, Dance Smartly showed her versatility by winning the 1 1/2-mile Breeders' Stakes on the turf. Racing fans still hadn't seen the best from the filly from Ernie Samuel's Sam-Son Farm. After humiliating the "boys" in the Triple Crown series, she took the measure of some of the best colts and geldings in North America in the Molson Export Million. The filly moved with ...
