Recent Belmont Stakes Winners
Last year’s winner Dornoch won the race in 2:01.64, and did so on Saratoga’s 1 1/4 mile track. The fastest overall time from the last ten years, regardless of track length, belongs to 2020 winner Tiz the Law, who ran it in 1:46.53 at Belmont Park on a 1 1/8 mile track.
Most Belmont Stakes Jockey Wins
Since 2010, only four jockeys have won multiple times at the Belmont Stakes: Mike Smith, with Justify (2018), Palace Malice (2013), and Drosselmeyer (2010); Joel Rosario, with Sir Winston (2019) and Tonalist (2014); Irad Ortiz Jr, with Mo Donegal (2022) and American Pharoah (2016); and as of last year Luis Saez, with Dornoch (2024) and Essential Quality (2021).
Most Belmont Stakes Trainer Wins
2024 was a first-time Belmont Stakes win for trainer Danny Gargan, who’s training history only dates back to earlier that year. Incidentally, a co-owner of Dornoch is former Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Jayson Werth.
There’s still a long way to go before anyone catches all-time leader James Rowe, who has trained eight winning Belmont horses, with the last coming in 1931. Todd Pletcher is doing his best to close that gap, now boasting four Belmont wins after Essential Quality’s win in 2022.
